Edge of my seat...and will likely be at the edge of my seat the next four times I read that passage!

I assume the sled dog is dead. Tough life for those guys.

You really captured the stress and tension, the multiple distractions and the danger in your account of the hunt. New drawers for me, buds, and I would hope that you were there too!

And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.

good ending to the dog trauma, I checked the pack over after we loaded the hide onto the sled. The dog had blood in his fur but did not appear to be hurt too bad. He ran with the sled team  and was quite resilient. I don't know how he survived that but some how he made it through. I asked Sam later about my unexpected way the hunt unfolded, no dogs were released to distract the bear. He said this team was 10 new dogs and I old one. He reminded me when he first saw the bear, he loosed the old dog but that would not run to catch the bear so he put him back on the tether to pull the sled. Every polar hunt story is unique, I am very fortunate mine turned out so well.
