As far as I'm concerned, my dog trains me about as much as I train him. I just can't help it; that's the way it always seems to go. So, my friend, over the course of my life, I have had many animal friends, both wild and domestic. However, none can compare in terms of companionship, lovingness, faithfulness, and, yes indeed, friendship to that of the noble dog.Kenny Salwey is the last of a breed of men whose lifestyle has all but disappeared in this fast-paced, high-tech digital world. For thirty years, this weathered woodsman eked out a living on the Mississippi River, running a trapline, hiring out as a river guide, digging and selling roots and herbs, and eating the food he hunted and fished. Today, Salwey is a master storyteller, environmental educator, keynote speaker, nature writer, and advocate for the Upper Mississippi River. "--$cProvided by publisher.
