The highly intelligent and speedy Karelian Bear Dogs save the lives of hundreds of bears in the United States each year and serve as ambassadors for reducing bear-human conflict worldwide. They track on leash and shepherd an untold number of grizzly and black bears from human-occupied areas back into the wild.
The Dalton Highway: A Last Frontier Adventure

Experiencing the vast and beautiful frontier of our country’s 49th state was a special treat.
