Atlin Where Everyone Knows Your Dog's Name A Northern gold rush town, Atlin, British Columbia, where the wilderness was a playground and dogs were a part of the family. Smith combines witty story-telling with the published writings and paintings of his mother. Many photos. An adventurous romp through childhood, in a place like no other, when kids were allowed to be kids kindles nostalgic feelings for some, yearning for adventure in others.
