More: Kiska is a gentle giant. We adopted him when he was just a 9 weeks old, giant, fluff ball. He loves to dig in mud, water, sand, or even our backyard! He enjoys trail running and hiking with his human in the Alaska wilderness. Once hiking in the Chugiak, we let Kiska off leash. He took off! About 10 minutes later we saw what appeared to be a giant gray wolf running towards us. Turns out it was Kiska who had completely covered himself in mud!
