Heart of the Wilderness
“She and Nonie worked together as a team gathering leaves and tender shoots, roots and berries in their baskets. Kendra’s sharp eyes were often the first to spot the wild produce, and her keen nose the first to smell the pungent odors that led them in the right direction.
Oscar, big for his breed, had grown to full size and with Kendra’s patient training had become a dog that quickly obeyed her commands. Kendra’s grandfather, Papa Mac, teased that Oscar ate better than anyone else in the cabin. ...It was true that Kendra fussed over him and fed him accordingly. The dog was also strong and sturdy, his chest broad, his legs sinewy. Papa Mac, voicing pride in the dog, declared that he would make an outstanding lead dog for a sled team.
The words were not lost on Kendra. In her mind was the picture of the team she hoped to one day have as her own.
She managed to find it in her heart to hope for a good winter’s catch on her Papa Mac’s traplines, though she still inwardly cringed at the thought of the instruments of death.MoreLess
