I just completed work for a new book that is due out this fall.  "The Phantom Poodle of Rainy Pass" keeps two young girls on the lookout for a mysterious dark figure in the Alaskan winter.  Based upon a true story told by John 'the Poodleman' Suter to the late Dan Levinson, the book is geared toward 6-12 year olds but will certainly hold the interest of younger and older readers.  John Suter was the first musher in the Iditarod to hitch standard poodle dogs to his racing sled.
