Every dog has its day? This husky’s had a bunch.
It’s nice to see that the Mayor of Whitehorse isn’t the only one who’s been smelling like Yukon.
Apparently, SLY’s efforts to keep the Yukon’s Coat of Arms on the minds of Yukoners has finally inspired the mainstream media–in this case, Air North’s inflight magazine–to take a kick at the story. Notwithstanding the fact that Smells Like Yukon’s groundbreaking Coat of Arms work is never acknowledged in this magazine piece, we still give it two paws up.
Mark and Jesse paid no attention to the actual history behind the Coat of Arms during the research for “Best in Snow” and “Knock It Off,” so they found the article quite informative, though they might have enjoyed it even more had there been a stronger focus on the dog and a little less stuff about the history. And, seriously, why would anyone go to the trouble of writing a story about the Yukon’s Coat of Arms without suggesting a few things to replace the dog?
At any rate, we think it’s about time to finally put that dog down–and perhaps, while we’re at it, place a moritorium on stories about the Yukon’s Coat of Arms.
