More DescriptionBRECK THE FLOPPY EARED HUSKY, set in the Colorado mountains on Earl's Husky Ranch, is about a Husky who is the last male of the litter from prize-winning sled dogs Zara and Dane. With his birth, the perfect pedigree record of their offspring is broken because Breck is born with astonishing floppy ears. As it happens, however, the bane of Breck's existence actually turns out to be a blessing in disguise, for he is rejected by the notorious thieves, the Smothers Brothers, who steal the rest of the prized family - but leave him behind.When the story begins, Breck's eagerness to become a prize-winning sled dog like his father is evident, despite the physical difference between him and the rest of the pack. His rival Dakota, the other male Husky who is to be picked as lead sled dog continually points out Breck's floppy ears as a mutation, scoffing at the possibility of Breck's ever becoming a real sled dog. Breck's journey to save his pack and family from the gang of thieves leads to an impromptu introduction to Merlin, the magic cat, who happens to be British and is convinced his master was a magician. Picked up along the way is Skeet, the old yellow Lab who lives on a sled maker's farm and is widely known as the only Lab to have ever run in the Iditarod.These three quirky personalities - each with struggles of his own - join forces to mount an adventurous rescue mission that is full of adversity and triumph. As the story unfolds, real-life lessons of self-worth, perseverance, and tolerance of others are revealed. Each of these extraordinary animals possesses a sense of humor about themselves and others, and each uses their imagination to the fullest as they face the world - and the bandits - together.
