Stickeen was a mongrel dog that befriended John Muir during his explorations of Alaska's glaciers, and this book recounts their exciting adventure one stormy day in 1880. Even in its simplicity, this story leads us to consider the interconnectedness and sanctity of all living things. It was life changing for Muir and one of his most memorable stories. One of the best things about this book is that it is shorter than his other works, and one can experience Muir's exquisite writing without having to read through some of his more serious tomes.
