The challenge of the Yukon The Wonder Dog Kings with some strong as the Vescum will leave dogs Blay 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 Monipolese who preserved law and order in the new Northwest country

Young Jim Scott patted the head of his big lead dog Rex. His father propped up on a cot in the corner of their cabin, looked fondly at his son, and listened as the boy talked to the Husky.
