Dogs work and puppies play alongside an unidentified trapper in Southcentral Alaska. The dogs carry packs as the trapper snowshoes, and then pull a sled up a steep incline. Puppies play near a woodpile back at the cabin. Notes accompanying the film reel indicate the film was shot in 1949 to 1950 in the Copper River region (Color/Silent/16mm film).
