How the Husky Got Its Mask

Set in the Alaskan wilderness, How the Husky Got Its Mask is a dynamic survival legend and tall tale about how Alaska huskies earned their iconic white masks.

Sam and his husky, Sitka, live a happy life in the Alaskan wilderness, until a hard winter exhausts their store of food and pushes them to make a risky mid-winter journey through the mountain pass. When disaster strikes—avalanche—Sitka mounts a heroic effort to rescue Sam and earns herself the distinctive white face mask Alaska huskies are famous for.
