Derry, a pedigreed airedale, lived in the wild open country of the Northwest. Quite different was Derry's partner, Mac-half Newfoundland and half husky. This is the story of these two dogs and their master, Ed Sibley. It recounts their adventures in the wilderness — and the bravery of the dogs against man and beast who tried to do their master harm. Sometimes it was a battle with wolves, again it was a fierce fight with a bear, once it was Derry's partner that succeeded in running down a criminal and saving his master from disgrace.

And there is something beyond story in this book. The author knows dogs and writes about them with understanding. No one can read the story of Derry and Mac without learning a great deal about the way to handle a dog-and without loving dogs more than ever as the finest of companions both when at play and at work.
