However, Stickeen’s behavior changed drastically and brought the two together after a storm battle for life. Stickeen went from an unfriendly dog who showed no emotions, to a dog who was so happy to be alive. Any person who undergoes a near death experiences sees life in a different perspective and I believe that is what happened to Stickeen. From that day he only ate off from Muir’s hand and would rest his chin on his lap during their exploration. Even though it may not seem like it, dogs are actually aware of what is going on. Muir’s story was not only a true adventure story, it was much than that. He revealed that a man and a dog are not so distinctive from each other.
