[ Hobbs / Wild Man Island ]
Publisher's blurb: "After fourteen-year-old Andy slips away from his kayaking group to visit the wilderness site of his archaeologist father's death, a storm strands him on Admiralty Island, Alaska, where he manages to survive, encounters unexpected animal and human inhabitants, and looks for traces of the earliest prehistoric immigrants to America."
I've not read this book, but a concordance search (via Amazon) reveals that a Newfoundland dog is mentioned so many times in this young-adult adventure novel that it appears it be one of the significant non-human characters. I've not found a publisher's description or book review that mentions the dog.
