Description
This heartwarming and hair-raising "icy-storm story," published in 1909, recounts Muir's Alaskan adventures in 1880 with his little black dog named Stickeen--an animal that Muir initially views with scorn but comes to regard with the greatest affection following a near-death experience on a frozen glacier.
Excerpt:
To My Dog Blanco
By J. G. Holland
My dear dumb friend, low lying there,
A willing vassal at my feet;
Glad partner of my home and fare,
My shadow in the street;
I look into your great brown eyes,
Where love and loyal homage shine,
And wonder where the difference lies
Between your soul and mine!
I scan the whole broad earth around
For that one heart which, leal and true,
Bears friendship without end or bound,
And find the prize in you.
Ah, Blanco! did I worship God
As truly as you worship me,
Or follow where my Master trod
With your humility
