• Stickeen is another story of similar genre, written by John Muir and it narrates about a small dog called Stickeen.

Shep stayed all the time at home of his master while Stickeen was taken out for accompanying on a journey.

Answer 2

The Answer is:

The story 'Stickeen' by John Muir is about the bravery and intelligence of a little dog named Stickeen in the discovery of Alaska's frigid terrain. He was once slow and immovable.

• The author depicts Stickeen's and his own eventful adventure in this novel. Stickeen followed Muir when he was away, and Muir followed the hunter.
• Other times he stood alone, and on a different Stormy day, Stickeen accompanied Muir. The force of a stream was striking their faces.
• They walked to the glacier's west shore, and on the way back, there were several deadly crevasses.
• The writer found it difficult to cross them, but Stickeen did it simply. He kept his cool and followed Muir.
• Finally, they were stuck in a location surrounded by 50-foot-wide crevasses. On the vertical wall and across the silver bridge, the writer took modest steps. On the other side, he had similarly taken steps up the vertical wall.
• As a result, he crossed. Stickeen, on the other hand, is wise enough to see the dangers of traversing the crevasses on the sliver bridge. He ran, wailed, and wept.
• The author both encouraged and cautioned him to cross. Finally, he crossed it carefully and successfully. He was utterly transformed after that.
• He displayed uncontrollable joy. He wailed, sobbed, shouted, and screamed. Then they arrived safely. He never wants to be left alone with the writer and always looks at him as if he were God.
• He was taken by his master when the vacation ended and afterwards stolen by a tourist. Muir would remember him.

Sheps Hobby, James, the narrator, a cow named Rose, and the dog named Shep are all characters in this story. This begins when the narrator travels to Mr. Bailes' residence to treat Rose, who was suffering from stomach pains of unknown origin.

• Shep immediately jumps and scares the writer as the narrator walks near the wall. He attends to the cow.
• The day writer then visits Mr. Bailes' farm to see how Cow is doing. However, she does not recover from her stomach problems.
• When he saw this, the writer felt despair. This time, the dog barked at him as he passed by.
• The writer returns to the Bailes home the next day, but this time he finds the cow in good shape.
• She's out and about on the farm. He is content. However, it is the postman's job to heal the cow by jogging or galloping her.
• The writer then walks to Mr. Bailes' kitchen to wash his hands, and the dog scares him again. This time, however, he is enraged and threatens him.
• The next day, the writer returns to Mr. Bailes' residence, but this time the dog does not react to him. And, upon seeing this, the speaker (narrator) was overjoyed.
