Product Description From the beginning one puppy was different from the rest. He was big and black, his brother and sisters small and gray. While the others lay quietly snuggled against their mother, this puppy squirmed and wiggled constantly. So begins the inspiring story of a puppy whose boundless energy almost got the best of him. Douggie: The Playful Puppy Who Became a Sled Dog Hero is Pam Flowers s tribute to the pup who seemed destined to remain the class clown. But Pam saw potential in this exuberant youngster, and Douggie's intelligence and persistence ultimately earned him the position of lead dog for a dangerous 325-mile expedition to the Magnetic North Pole.

Douggie: The Playful Pup Who Became A Sled Dog Hero April 5, 2008 Barbara J. Vander Veen (Grand Rapids, MI USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this book and donated it as a birthday book at the elementary school I work at. The librarian has been reading it to the classes that come in for library. I have gotten so many hugs and THANK YOUS from the kids at school. They have all said it is a "Great Book" or "Awesome Book". They were doing a unit on the iditarod races and sled dogs, so I checked with the librarian to see if the library had this book and if they would be interested in it for the library.
Wonderful! February 22, 2008 Nancy J. Reid (Beverly Hills, MI) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Having met the author and heard her tell the story at my school, it was wonderful to read the book! Pam Flowers tells an exciting true story well and my students hung on every word! The illustrations are absolutely beautiful as well as the story.
