Transcript

The challenge of the Yukon! Thank you very much! Wonder God, King! With this and strong is the best of all these dogs. Places the trail to storm and snow for Sergeant Preston. At he meets the challenge of the Yukon!

Sergeant Preston was typical of the small band of Northwest noted police who preserved law and order in the new Northwest country, where the greed for wealth and power led to frequent violence and bloodshed. But in spite of the odds against them, Sergeant Preston and his wonder dog King met that challenge and justice ruled triumphant.

It was many years before that great organization the Seeing Eye League began to train dogs for the blind. But the instinct and devotion of dog to master is timeless. And so it was that when Pete Ramsey lost his sight, Alec became his eyes.

Hi there, Pete. How are ya? Well, I haven't seen you for quite a while. How'd the traps these days? Got some mighty good silver foxes yesterday. That's good. What brings in the town, Pete? Oh, you hear too, Jim?

Oh, Ellic and me just decided we'd pick up a few supplies. How's Mary? Fine. Stop by at the cabin next time you get up our way. Yes, thanks. I will. All right, Ellic. I'll see you later, boys.

So long, Pete. Take care of yourself. See you later, he says. Ah, poor Pete. You've got the hand the to him? Many men who'd have what it takes to stick it out up here. Blind as a bat like he is?
