The Arctic is a frozen, isolated place where only the brave dare to venture. Two naturalists, Alfred M. Bailey and Russell W. Hendee traveled to Arctic Alaska in 1921-22 to collect specimens for the Denver Museum of Natural History. Another member of the team was an Airedale named Jerry. This unique dog made a contribution to their field work by his retrievals in the frigid waters and he also learned to pull a sled as well as the natives' dogs.
