Why did the man keep the dog if they really didn't have a bond?

# data[].attributes.body
I felt really sad when I saw that the dog was basically crying for the man. The man tried to kill the dog and the dog still feels bad for him. So sad to me.

# data[].attributes.body
I was surprised that the dog was crying for the man that died at the end of the story!

# data[].attributes.body
I thought that the ending was very tragic and I wish it would have ended in a better way

# data[].attributes.body
I was kind of shocked that when he became really cold he looked at the dog and wanted to kill him to keep him warm. Well I'm not shocked I'm just kind of sad that he was going to kill the dog because I'm a dog person. To be honest if it came to that last thing to keep me warm I would probably do it.

# data[].attributes.body
Why does the man keep smoking ? Is he addicted ?

# data[].attributes.body
The ending was very unexpected...

# data[].attributes.body
I think the man should've thought more about his decisions, he could've prevented many things.

# data[].attributes.body
I was very shocked with the end.

# data[].attributes.body
I think if the man might have been more carful and thought about things more he wouldn't have ended up dead

# data[].attributes.body
How dare the man desire to kill the dog for himself. He seems like the most selfish person evr if will kill a dog for personal gain.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel bad for the man because, all he wants to do is see the boys, but all these obstacles keep happening.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that his job is working with dogs. Also, I think that "the boys" are dogs.

Pg.69

Where did the dog come from, I'm starting to think more and more about it? I know he's from Alaska, but it never talked about him in the beginning.

# data[].attributes.body
What is a earth bank?

# data[].attributes.body
I feel bad for the dog the man made him go step on the ice even though he did not want to. What is wrong with the man he  should feel horrible and the dog fell in . Wow

# data[].attributes.body
Who is Bud?

Pg.67

# data[].attributes.body
The man made the dog go in front of him although the dog didn't want to, just to see if it was safe to step. I feel bad for the dog he already has to deal with the extreme weather and now this.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought it was intersting how this man was never cold and the weather was freezing where he was. Also I wonder why

# data[].attributes.body
I think when he says it's his first winter he says for real cause maybe he's from an area that's summer all year long

# data[].attributes.body
Why is the man more used to the cold then the Native Dog?

# data[].attributes.body
I can't believe the ending.........

# data[].attributes.body
How does this man know so much about the creeks and hillsides when it is his first winter?

# data[].attributes.body
I'm just wondering if I'm understanding this right, but is his facial hair like his beard and mustache turning into solid ice?

# data[].attributes.body
I used to have a dog that would always follow me by my side. And I can relate to the man in that sense.

# data[].attributes.body
Where is Henderson Creek? What is he doing there?

Pg.67

# data[].attributes.body
I think the man was really mean to the dog pushing him in the ice to see if it would break.

# data[].attributes.body
The man had tobacco in his mouth. He is not broke obviously. I think he knows his way around, because he needed a store to get that.

Pg.67

# data[].attributes.body
Why is he wearing moccasins instead of boots ? Shouldnt he be freezing by now? Yet it continues to not bother him.

# data[].attributes.body
I can't see how  the man can survived in really really cold weather like he is weather lower than Kansas has ever been in. Also his dog must be freezing his tail off right now. It must be so cold over. It makes me shiver just thinking about it.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 66 it says that the dog was a native dog. If it's native, then shouldn't it be used to the cold?

# data[].attributes.body
Why is this man risking his life, just to see some boys? The dog even knows it's not safe to be walking along the trail for so long.

# data[].attributes.body
Why does he keep smoking again and again? It freezes to his face and yet he continues to do it

# data[].attributes.body
When it said "the one thing that relived the whiteness was a thin dark line that curved from the pine covered island to the south". Wha is that.

# data[].attributes.body
What happens if the dog digs a hole

# data[].attributes.body
"This was Henderson Creek and he knew he was ten miles from where the stream divided." (p. 67) - The man seems to know the area well for his first winter being there.

# data[].attributes.body
Why did the man travel down the trail just to look at the possibility of floating logs down the river when the ice melted?

# data[].attributes.body
How could this man bear this cold and take his dog with him, just for a loaf of bread? I know he wants warm meat sandwhiches but come on man.

# data[].attributes.body
Who are the boy? Why is he going to visit them?

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the man will suffer a lot because of frostbite. I say this cause the temperature is crazy and he has been traveling for days.

# data[].attributes.body
I think "the man" is going to die of frost bite. I think that, because he is wearing fuzzy moccasins and not a lot of clothing.

# data[].attributes.body
I find things interesting like why doesn't he feel the frost before hand

# data[].attributes.body
"The distant trail, no sun in the sky, the great cold, and the strangeness of it all-had no affect on the man." Was he already frozen or something, where he cant feel any cold?

# data[].attributes.body
Is the Indian Creek country where the man lives? And are the boys people from his tribe or home?

# data[].attributes.body
I find it interesting that the dog is more worried about the weather conditions than the man is.

# data[].attributes.body
Why was he smoking tobacco when it's 75 degrees below freezing?

# data[].attributes.body
What is the Indian creek country?

# data[].attributes.body
What are the boys and why is he visiting them?
