Something no one had invited crouched beneath the card table in a Lofoten cabin – and a young man carried the mark of that night for life.

In a fishing cabin in Salten the crew often played cards deep into the night. One evening a card slipped to the floor, and as someone reached for it a coal-black dog was seen pressed against the table leg.
