Alaska, July 1912 - Proud Working Dogs


A dog that knows it does its job well is a very happy dog indeed!

Frank and Frances Carpenter collection (Library of Congress)


Photo shows Walter W. Johnson, a mining engineer and designer of gold and tin dredges, who traveled around the Seward Peninsula on the family "pupmobile" and on horseback. Johnson wrote on the back of his copy of the photo, "When it was time to coast, the dogs would jump aboard without command." (Source: Granddaughter Lynn Johnson, 2013)
