That was in Canada and with the snow. I was a little afraid when the papa fell off. He was by his lone. What if a wolf came? Bears can also eat him. But the dogs were ok and they stopped. They carried him home I think.- Khi 3

Story of a father and son going husky sledding in the mountains. Father falls off going over a log and the dog team are running away toward a cliff. Might be a bit intense for young children. I almost started crying when the boy's favorite dog didn't move at the end, but then she starts wagging her tail and gets to ride back with the boy in the sled. Lovely illustrations.
