From the Author
On July 14, 1991, while backpacking with three dogs on trail from Whitney Portal to Whitney Peak, California, I was asked for the umtheenth time in two days about a "how-to" book. "There isn’t one," I replied, "I haven’t written it yet."
The rest is history. So... If you think you and your dog would like taking trips together in the wilderness, or you are already a seasoned backpacker who would enjoy the company of your dog, this book is written for you. PLEASE, carefully train your dog BEFORE you ask him to earn his keep on the trail. ...Enjoy!
