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
