Stone Fox, by John Reynolds Gardiner, illustrated by Marcia Sewall, 1980
A childhood book of mine
In addition to my last post, if you're alright with dog death, you should absolutely read Stone Fox. It's got a great (sad, but great) ending (which I'll put spoilers for under a cut because I adore it). The way things play out are unexpected but touching in a way that not a lot of other books are for me.
So the plot of the book is basically, this kid lives with his grandpa on a farm, right? Well, grandpa gets really sick and the kid finds out that the farm is in debt.
He plans to win the money to pay off the debt at a sled dog race (iirc) in his town, and ends up being neck and neck with this guy called Stone Fox. And just as he's about to win - his dog dies of exhaustion. Her heart stops. And he stops, too.
But instead of going on and taking the win, Stone Fox stops as well. He pulls a gun from his bag (iirc) and draws a line in the snow. He tells everyone there that if anyone but the main character crosses that line, he'll shoot. And he lets the kid walk the last ten feet, carrying his dog, and win.
I'm probably not doing the emotions of the scene justice, but it hits me in the heart every time I read it. Watching this man who is such a renowned dog racer stop and let a kid win because he knows how much it means (or if he doesn't, given that Stone Fox is a very quiet character, knowing that in his mind this is the right thing to do)... It hits me every time. God I love this book.

this might be a longshot and tw for death but theres a childrens book i read about a sled dog team when i was younger and the only thing i remember is i think the lead dog was female and pushed themself so hard during a race that they experienced heart failure. was wondering if by any chance you'd know what that book was because i loved that book but cant for the life of me remember its name or anything else about it
Itโs called โStone Foxโ and was also one of my favorite as a kid. Iโve talked about the book a bit on this blog before but do be warned that this book doesnโt really hold up as well as nostalgia would like you to think it may. It has a serious issue with the way it represents and writes its titular Native American character.
Ughh, man makes my drawers moist. My apologies to the dog
2015 Interview with Janis Tanaka discussing her early life, roots of her music career, and the projects/bands she has been involved with. Apparently Kat Bjelland wanted her to play bass in Babes in Toyland after Michelle left; Iโve read from Maureenโs patreon that Kristen Pfaff was another player they considered asking to join.
