Today we got a text from our closest neighbors, a quarter mile away. There was a dog in their front yard, and they wondered if it was ours. They thought maybe it couldn’t see well?
Naturally, we ran over to the garden—and sure enough, Hari was missing.
It was very windy earlier, and the garden door had blown open. Hari must have wandered out, gotten disoriented, and been unable to find his way back. The wind makes it hard for him to follow his nose.
We jumped in the car to pick him up. The moment we came around the corner, we spotted him in the distance! He has a very distinctive trot, almost like a show pony; he lifts his feet high up so he doesn’t trip.
Do you see Hari?
Hari was acting brave, although he must have been frightened. The moment he heard our voices his whole posture changed and he started prancing with excitement.
It was a short drive home. Hari on Blair’s lap in the front seat. He looks somewhat anxious; he’s not used to riding in cars.
Hari’s sister, Refried, was waiting for him. Hari sticks his head through a doorway and Refried pokes her head around the door. It’s an actual door, like the kind you’d put in a house, but it serves as a gate to the garden.

Next time you have an adventure, let’s do it together, ok? Hari and Blair smiling together

This story happened when I was 19, and I had just started working as a dogsled guide in Alaska.
I was spending the summer with 200 sled dogs and about a dozen people in a tent city on top of a glacier.

If you’ve read my book you know all about the glacier, but hear me out.

I want to tell you a story about Grinch.
This is Grinch. A dog stands on a dog house in the field. He has a very long nose and no visible upper teeth, and he looks upward in delight at being pet.
Grinch is a sled dog. Grinch looking focused in harness with a snowy face
