The dogs: Nansen

Meet Mr. Muscles. This boy is simply insanely strong. Even as a pretty fit, adult male, I find it almost impossible to hold him once he sets his mind on going somewhere urgently. I've seen him drag a parked rig, just by his neckline.
Beneath all this brutal brawn, however, is a really soft guy who likes nothing better than leaning against a human and getting a good knoodle.
Nothing, that is, apart from running down the trail like crazy.
He's the son of Bibi and Bembo, brother of Solan and Skogen, and was born in the cabin three years ago.
Nansen is named for the early-20th century arctic explorer Fridtjof Nansen.
