A Chicago News correspondent recalls a Scottish terrier that climbed a balsam fir seven feet high to approach a porcupine during a New Hampshire snowshoe walk. The dog made several futile attempts on smooth bark then leaped back into the snow. The same writer notes the dog and mate, now dead, were fire worshipers at home yet did not sit near bonfires during winter outings, instead digging snow holes to curl up in.
