In an effort to protect bears and people, biologist Carrie Hunt uses black and white husky-like Karelia bear dogs from Finland to try to scare bears away from people and people food. Carrie and her partners give the dogs orders such as "bark at the bear." Follows the biologists and dogs on several bear incidents outing. Offers a list of advice to campers and hikers to keep a good bear a good bear. Interesting look at a little known topic. Karen Woodworth-Roman, Children's Science Book Review

I own a Karelian and just love her. The author knows her stuff and loved the pictures too. A must for those that are fortunate to own a dog like these.

I was expecting details to learn more about this breed. This book is just a nice story about the dogs, and seems more geared towards children. I have had fun reading this book to my child under five, and my one year old loves the pictures. If you are considering owning this breed and want to learn about this breed, this is not the book.

Recipient loved the book, had been unable to get a concentrated source of information on this fascinating breed before this book.
