Sled dogs: The great transport of the north
14.99 €
A sled dog is probably the only animal that does its job with pleasure. A horse, for example, doesn't really like to ride a rider. An elephant carries logs only because he is forced to do so. The reindeer pulls the sledge with sad resignation. And only the northern dog squeals with excitement before being harnessed to the sled. Of course, even among sled dogs there are lazy people. But still for most of them work is a joy. Until recently, the coastal Chukchi and Eskimos could not imagine their lives without sled dogs. The polar research of Europeans made significant progress only when expeditions in the middle of the XIX century began to use dog sledges. Russian pioneers got acquainted with this mode of transportation even earlier - at least in the first half of the 18th century. Certainly, in our time dogs in the role of transport have been strongly squeezed by technology. However, the art of riding them has not disappeared: dog racing has become a sport. And it is good that it is so - because even the most modern snowmobile cannot find its way when it is blizzarding, cannot smell a bear and will not become your real friend
