Why not post that information, seems there's some interest in the subject "dogs".
Reference has been made that many haven't seen that much documented information about dogs traveling in the fur trade period. Possibly it was not considered an unusual event and many didn't record it.
Seems today we record more of a variety of things than some did from the past. Hanson claimed that common events of the day missed being recorded in many of the old jounrals, they recorded what was important to them or their area. Possibly the individual's dog being a common hunting or traveling companion wasn't considered unusual ???

Subject: Re: MtMan-List: Dogs?
To those of you who are interested, I researched the particular story I
mentioned yesterday concerning the Winter Express. It is told in "River of
the West," chapter three. William Sublette and Moses "Black " Harris, with
several dogs, on snow shoes to St. Louis. I was thankful I found the
information as I thought I could have imagined it.
