Now as gunshots echo across the windswept, snow-covered reaches of the Wild Northwest, Paker Puff Wheat, and Paker Puff Rise, the breakfast cereal shot from gun. Yes! Present the challenge of the Yukon. It Yukon King, swiftest and strongest lead dog of the North West, placing the trail for Sergeant Preston of the North West Mounted Police,
