Eleven Days
Contributed by G.B Jones
Mat-Su Valley/ Anchorage - You are probably aware of the true story of the little sled dog Aafes that got lost in the rugged mountains of the Alaska Range for eleven days during the Iditarod sled dog race of 2007.
A new book, entitled Eleven Days, was published by the Alaskan Gardens Publishing Company in 2022 and is a sequel to my previous book, Lost in the Alaskan Wilderness, and is an animated account of Aafes' eleven days on the lam. This 72-page paperback book is written as if Aafes herself tells the story of where she went during those eleven days, and the unusual cast of characters she met while searching for her lost teammates.
This is a good read for kids of all ages and highlights the bonds which unite people and dogs. Contains color photographs of actual events involving Aafes rescue. Curl up to a cozy fire and read Aafes’ entertaining version of being lost in the Alaskan wilderness!
This paperback book retails for $11.00 and is available through Amazon, Todd Communications in Anchorage, and the Alaskan Gardens website at www.AlaskanGardens.com
