Off they went, the two leading dogs pulling the wolf along from in front, while the sled-dog nipped him from behind and encouraged him to go ahead. Thus into Fort Rae drove the gay Louison with an untamed timber-wolf in harness actually helping to haul his sled as one of his dog-team.
Here again, doubtless, came in the process of unintended selection which has made the Esquimau sled-dog one of the most remarkable varieties of his kind. Perhaps the most interesting of the early variations induced among dogs is that which has arisen from the pastoral habit.
He represented most of a northlander's ideals and dreams of what a sled-dog should be, plus certain other qualities that came to him from his breeding, and that no dog-musher would have even hoped for in a sled-dog: his immense size, for example, and his wonderful dignity and grace of form and action.
Matt examined him. "Just about all in," he announced; "but he's breathin' all right." Beauty Smith had regained his feet and come over to look at White Fang. "Matt, how much is a good sled-dog worth?" Scott asked. The dog-musher, still on his knees and stooped over White Fang, calculated for a moment. "Three hundred dollars," he answered. "And how much for one that's all chewed up like this one?"
Jan was so hungry, what with his strivings in the traces and the novelty for him of this life of tense unceasing effort and alertness, that his appetite was as a thorn in his belly and as a spur to his ingenuity and enterprise. It is the law of the sled-dog that you shall not steal your trace-mates' grub.
"Wolf or dog, it's all the same he's ben tamed 'ready." "No!" "I tell you yes, an' broke to harness. Look close there. D'ye see them marks across the chest?" "You're right, Matt. He was a sled-dog before Beauty Smith got hold of him." "And there's not much reason against his bein' a sled-dog again." "What d'ye think?" Scott queried eagerly.
