SPUNK, LEADER OF THE DOG TEAM.
The mainspring of this story is found in those dog sled races which
have become an outstanding event of our northern New England season of
winter sports.
Spunk--strong, masterful, intelligent that he was--won his place in
the heart of his master and as leader of the dog team through weeks
and months of training. He acquired his name because he refused to
whimper when broken limbs had to be set and he justified his name when
on the ice fields of Mount Washington he refused to yield an inch when
yielding would mean certain death and destruction to all. And when the
winning team of the great Derby of dog racing “mushed in” with Spunk
in the lead, he verified all the confidence that his master had in him
when he christened him “Spunk.”
THE SEA DOG.
The Sea Dog is a real dog--noble, brave, self-sacrificing and
intelligent. Pieface, the hero of the tale, was the only heritage left
to this spoiled son of a millionaire who, when the boy was young, lost
his all, leaving his lad to the mercies of the world. Downcast and
discouraged, the lad even tried to drown his only legacy. Fortunately
the dog lived and became of material assistance to his master in
regaining his confidence in himself and his ability to meet the world
on an equality.
