Puppy Lost in Lapland,

Sad,yes, but exciting and interesting and a story of courage. I loved it as a kid and am having fun sharing it with my kids now! A wonderful animal story that should not be missed.

This is a book that brought tears to my eyes as a child. This is a book I would be unable to read out loud today because it is just too sad.An Elkhound puppy becomes separated from his litter mates and has to fend for himself in the cold, cruel, snowy world. His life is one of hardships and survival; he breaks his leg and has a long, painful healing process. Fortunately, the dog's bone does mend and fortunately he finds his way home.This book has lovely illustrations, but the story always got to me. It always made me sad to think of this poor, lost dog, suffering in the cold.
