You are standing upon the southeastern edge of a large snow covered
valley.  You raise your hand to protect your face from the swirling snow and
sleet which obscures your vision more than a few yards in any direction. 
The ankle deep snow makes travel slow and hazardous.  Tall glaciers block
your movement to the east and south.  
A solid white wild dog with a long bushy tail snarls angrily at you.
An arctic fox begins attacking you!
An arctic fox is in perfect health.
