Bookroo's summary

Chiri, a steel-gray Husky, survived the brutal wilderness after witnessing a black wolf kill his family. Now, as a full-grown dog, he forms a fragile bond with trapper Link Stevens, the only human he trusts. But Chiri's past haunts him, and he knows a final confrontation with the black wolf looms. In a land of coyotes, caribou, and grizzlies, Chiri must rely on his instincts and courage to face his greatest challenge. Will he emerge victorious, or will the wilderness claim him once more? The stakes are life and death in this gripping tale of survival.
