Now as gunshots echo across the windswept snow-covered reaches of the wild northwest, Quaker Oats, the giant of the cereals, free sands, Sergeant Preston of the Yukon.

Never did take the harness very well. You've always chasing rabbits and such every chance he got. Reckoney chased one a little too far last time. He didn't come back though. Dogs usually find their way back home.

That dog didn't have any sense, Elsie. The rest of the teams stay quiet, mind their own business. But Snooper has marked named him, always wanted attention. That's part of the trouble too. The boys sort of made a pet of him, spoil the dog.

Oh gosh, Dad. I think Snooper was smart. You wanted to be something more than just a sled dog. Oh, what's dogs good for except a pull of sleds, son? Sergeant Preston's dog, King, helps find crooks when he isn't leading the dog, King.
