Oh I liked this one! It’s suspenseful and a sad but true commentary on man vs. nature and man vs. dog.

An American man is walking through the snowy Yukon Territory. He was warned by a native man to take the journey more seriously, but blew him off, thinking he knew how best to survive in snow and ice. He even refused to take a face covering. He has a native dog with him, a dog who doesn’t have a strong relationship with the man. The man ends up getting into serious trouble trying to get to his destination. He builds a fire numerous times, the second one for after he falls through ice. As things get more desperate and he makes more mistakes, the dog’s thoughts are relayed regarding what he’s thinking of this man who’s taking off his gloves too often and even, at one point, calls the dog over to try and kill it so he can stay warm inside it’s carcas.

This story is a fascinating tale of man being ignorant and dismissive of nature’s power and not taking it seriously to his own detriment. It’s also shows the difference between dog and man. The man sees the dog as his slave, to walk with him and provide company and help. The dog sees the man as his protector. For all his advanced brain power, the man is too ignorant to survive, while the dog knows what to do. It’s a wonderful way to speak of the natural relationship b/t the two and the relationship of each with nature. I recommend this one! I think you’ll get a lot out of it.
