My first news story was written during graduate school in Alaska, where I went in 1982 after four years
in Los Angeles. It concerned the plight of Brownie the coyote-dog crossbreed. She was under a death sentence imposed by state
wildlife officials. As a freelancer, I'd been writing book reviews for the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, but my proposing this
subject got the attention of the news editor, who ran the article on the front page. Brownie posed for a photo behind
her kennel's chainlink gate. An uproar followed: "How could you kill that sweet dog?" Even after my wife, Susan, and I left
Alaska, Brownie's fate was the subject of outraged letters to the editor.
