Product Overview
Patsy Ann was a bull terrier who truly embodied the Alaskan spirit. In the 1930s, Patsy Ann was brought to Alaska as a puppy to be a pet, but she had other plans for herself. Instead of being coddled indoors or tethered in the yard, she wanted to explore the bustling town full of totem poles, salmon, and fascinating people. Even though she was deaf, Patsy Ann would run to the docks to meet incoming ships-eventually becoming the town’s official greeter. In that way, she went from nobody’s dog to everybody’s dog.
Tricia Brown first came to Alaska in 1978 and lived in and traveled the state for more two decades. She has been an editor for the Fairbanks Daily News-Minder, the Anchorage Daily News, and Alaska magazine.
