SOLVED. Children's book set in Nepal or China. [s]

[Anne]

I loved this book as a kid/preteen. A young girl rescues or is delivering a shitzu puppy to the king but has many problems along the way. It is either set in Nepal of China. Any ideas?

About what year did you read it? Remember the cover? Was it a picture book or chapter book? Author female or male? Illustrated?

chapter book in the 1960s. Maybe mountains and girl with the dog snow

Any chance you could be thinking of Daughter of the Mountains by Louise S. Rankin?
