Those pack dogs are a neurotic bunch. I've known people with sled dogs and the were nothing like the crazy dogs tied up on this show.

we have owned & run sled dogs. Sled dogs are bred to do one thing - pull sleds. When their people are out & about, the dogs will do everything possible to get them to harness & go for runs. That's their whole reason for being & they truly do love to run.

Dogs on a 10 foot chain 99% of their lives. A huge chunk of that time in double digit below zero conditions with no more protection than a few pieces of decaying plywood. Too bad SPCA doesn't do anything about that crap. I hate govt. interference in almost everything, but not this. Anyone who thinks dogs love this kind of life is full of it.

Agreed - the dog racing is more about the humans than the dogs - I doubt they sincerely care about the wellbeing of these dogs
