Challenge of the Yukon: The Black Dog

The Challenge of the Yukon. From King! On, you huskies! The Wonder Dog King, swift, distant, strongest of Eskimo lead dogs, blazes the trail through storm and snow for Sergeant Preston, as he meets the Challenge of the Yukon.

Sergeant Preston was typical of the small band of Northwest-mounted police, who preserved law and order in the new Northwest country, where it read 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.

Inspector Grayson walked back and forth his office at Dawson City as he talked to Sergeant Preston of the Northwest Mounted Police. The inspector was irritated. I don't know why they send a young Constable likes turns on a case like this.

He's never been in the North country before. These matters after are hardened criminals. Pete Darcy will kill a man as quickly and as casually as he'd look at one. They may have been short of officers in the White Horse, sir.

Sophie Smith's gang is very active. That may be true. Have you ever seen Constable Sterns? No, sir. I've never met him. Well, he's capable enough, but quite young. I met him last summer when I was in Whitehorse.

You'd like him, he's a nice chap. You'd have a lot in common. He likes dogs just about as well as you do. Great big black one follows him everywhere, just the same as King follows you.

Well, black dog, you say, sir. Yes, very unusual looking. He's half wolf and half Newfoundland. Great big fellow with short wolf ears and slanting gray eyes. He has long black hair like a Newfoundland. I'd like the same.
