Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
For as long as he could remember, Johnnie has longed to go off hunting with Pa and their dog, Swift. Now the much-anticipated day has arrived, but Johnnie's first hunt comes to an abrupt end when a grizzly bear attacks Pa, leaving him wounded and unable to walk. ?Listen to the dog,? his father urges him as the boy starts out into the treacherous forest, led by the knowledgeable Swift, on a daring rescue mission to save his father.
More than a book about an Alaskan boy and his dog, Swift is a story of trust and courage, a perfect companion to Togo and Akiak.

Johnny has wanted to help Pa and their dog Swift hunt for the winter's meat almost since he was born, but when a grizzly's lightning attack mangles Pa's leg, Johnny and Swift have to make their way through the forest and down the river to bring back help--and a wounded bear attacks with no warning.
