“I hope the theme of this edition will strike a common chord among Labrador people as the seals were a significant means of survival for all Labrador folk, as well as for the husky dogs they depended upon for many things. Huskies that were fed a steady diet of seal meat/fat was a joy to see in the old days: they had full shiny coats, were tremendously hardly, well proportioned and strong, handsome and wild. The seal and the dog are equally important and both have evolved as significant symbols of Labrador culture.” – Alex Saunders, Guest Editor
