A Little Bit About Sled Dogs.

Dog sledding dates back to at least 2000 B.C. and has originated in Siberia and North America, where many American Indian cultures used dogs to pull loads of supplies and food. A Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen become the first person to reach South Pole using a dog sled in a race in 1911, after this mushing (another word for dog sledding) had spread to many European countries. Dogs were used for nature tours, as ambulances and to bring supplies to soldiers during WWI. Today there's no more need for working sled dogs, and they're mainly used for recreation, such as sled dog races in some countries, and of course make great pets. These are some beautiful, smart animals with tremendous amounts of endurance, cooperation skills, speed, and huge hearts.
