Writers' Union of Canada Judges comments:

"There was a strong bond between owner and the dogs....Good useage of sensory images."

"Posed some evocative images that subtly defined the danger and magic of nature. A stunning picture of the spirit of survival."

"The Orange Bib was engaging right from the beginning with the description of the scene of the start of the sled dog race."

"The names of the dogs, like an inventory of heroes in an epic tale, add colour and substance. Their various attitudes are winningly described."
