"Behind Mr. Paulsen's characteristically nonstop action howl constant north Minnesota winter storms, vividly rendered in Ruth Wright Paulsen's graceful paintings."
--The New York Times Book Review
"Paulsen is not known for writing love stories, but that's exactly what this lyrical, tender account is, showcasing Cookie, his primary lead dog for some 14,000 miles, who saved Paulsen's life more than once 'Such a bond, such a love I had with Cookie'--and such a book he wrote to share that love with others."
--Kirkus Reviews, Pointer
"Readers are drawn into the special bond between driver and lead dog through Paulsen's real-life experiences racing in Minnesota." --School Library Journal
