Out of the Arctic Night Across a wild and frozen land, Moved a small, intrepid band Of people with a guide to show The way to where they want to go. There is an outpost way out there Where they can view the polar bear. They have a team of huskies who Pull their sled, as huskies do, With provisions piled on for Their sustenance, while they explore. One night, the dogs were all staked out. The people tented all about, When someone saw a bear come in. The dogs began to raise a din. The bear approached the lead dog, then, Imagine the amazement when, The bear, who was so large and white, Showed it filled him with delight, To play games with this huskie so, They rolled and tussled in the snow. Next morning, they went on, but knew At a distance, the bear came too. Each night engaged the dog in play But before morning moved away. For the week left on the trail, This strange friendship, without fail, Flourished in the Arctic night, Bringing wonder at the sight! Although some other bears were seen, They all found it didn't mean Quite as much as the one they saw Greet their huskies, paw to paw!

Great job, Betty. I know the picture that inspired you and it is a wonderful sight, to see that big bear rolling around in play with the much smaller dog. You caught the excitement and wonder of it. Love, Joyce |

It never ceases to amaze me how different species interact with each other. You did a great job of describing something that doesn't happen every day, but most likely has happened at some point in time. I love it!! BWA~ ~Formerly known as Broken Winged Angel~ |

BWA: Thanks for reading and enjoyed your remarks. This article that I read had wonderful pictures of the polar bear and husky playing. I'm sure it happens when no one is around to film it too! Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |
