In April 2017, Justin Barbour and his Cape Shore water dog,
Saku, arrived in Robinson’s on the Rock’s west coast, where they began a quest
to experience the province’s woods and waters first-hand. A late winter lingers
as they push over the Long Range Mountains to the interior of the land, where
they hope thawed lakes and rivers will allow them to continue by inflatable
raft. From sunrise to sunset, follow the companions as they battle the
dangerous and unforgiving elements to reach Cape Broyle, some 700 kilometres
away.
Here you will see the land in a unique way, learn about
outdoor life, and gain awareness of Newfoundland’s natural history. Complete
with colour photos, maps, and interesting facts about the journey, Man and Dog
will offer you the heat of a campfire against your cheeks, the tug of a trout
on your line, and the breath of a curious black bear that has wandered into you
camp. It’s a journey for nature lovers, explores, and adventures of all ages.
