What is the Last Husky by Farley Mowat about?

Answer 1

The Last Husky is about a husky who is owned by a man, and they live in the Arctic. The man gets old and sick so he tells his family to leave him. His family has to follow the herds of animals and such. After a while the man decides to send the husky after his family so that his grandchildren can be protected by the husky. Also, the husky is pregnant. The husky travels around to find the family. She comes back to a camping ground but there are no humans there. She can`t go any further as she is pregnant so she decides to stay at the camp. She finds a river (I think) and there are dead animals there so she has food to feed herself and her children when they are born. At this time she also meets a lone white wolf. He doesn`t threat her so the husky does nothing about it. The husky then goes to this cave and gives birth. The wolf bought food for her and her children. He would leave it at the opening of the cave. Slowly the husky and the wolf grow closer. One night, the husky goes off to hunt and the wolf, worried, follows her. But half way, he senses something wrong and goes back to the cave. There was a wolverine who was about to attack the husky`s children. The wolf and the wolverine fight and they both die. A week later the humans return and a man, the child of the husky`s owner, finds the husky and her children in the cave. He then tells his son that he must not hunt the white wolf because they helped their husky and her children.
