Traces the friendship between a boy and a bear in the rugged Alaskan Territory.

A wolf-dog instinctively travels 2000 miles from Washington to Alaska to return to the boy who once saved his life.

The Alaskan wilderness is a lonely place for Mark Andersen, especially after the death of his brother. But Mark finds a friend named Ben, who happens to be an Alaskan brown bear. Ben and Mark form a special bond, but the townspeople are determined to destroy it. It is only through the strength of an enduring friendship that Ben--and Mark--have a chance of being saved.
