Eric Neufeld asked for Saskatchewan (sp) authors:  Don't forget Farley
Mowat, who lived in Sas. for some time as a kid.  The beginning of his
"The Dog Who Wouldn't Be" is set there.  

I read the book when I was very young, and again recently.  It's very simply
written, but it's worth reading, especially for people who love dogs.  
Mutt, the dog, natch, believed he was human, learned to climb ladders and 
walk on fences (the better to chase cats!) and was a 'retrieving fool.'

The final paragraph may be the best ending to any book I've ever read, and 
is worth picking up for that alone....
