Jim Gillian had driven four miles out of Fairbanks when he spotted the hitchhiker standing in the snow beside the road, thumb raised high, shivering in the gray Alaska dawn. He didn't appear to be very old, thirteen, maybe fourteen at the most. A small, fluffy dog protruded from the young man's backpack, but he looked friendly enough. A hitchhiker with a companion isn't the sort of thing that gives motorists pause in the 49<sup>th</sup> state. Gillian steered his truck to the side of the road and told the kid to climb in.
