Great story. Made me cry. Better than Old Yeller.

While I was prepared for the way this story played out by the true story that undoubtedly inspired it, this story got to me in a way that compares to "The Man Who Traveled in Elephants" by Robert Heinlein. I was chuckling with tears in my eyes when I finished it.

As the owner of a small terrier who is also a big guy in a small body I found this story to be close to the heart. As a former Marine and a 20 year Law Enforcent Officer I am not ashamed to say I had tears in my eyes several time.

From The New Ten Thousand, Captain, ultimately Colonel Pavalka, goes on an mission of mercy to get an important medical supply to a hospital in the middle of winter. A solo mission, on a dog sled and with his best buddy, Buster.
