One of the sled dogs chained up in someones back yard. During the winter these guys must go non stop. Can’t wait to see the races.

It’s cruel to force dogs to live at the end of a chain. Dogs are pack animals and need to be with humans and other dogs. Did you know that the Iditarod is cruel to dogs? For the facts, visit the Sled Dog Action Coalition website, http://www.helpsleddogs.org
I’m scared of dogs. The chain gives me comfort. If I came to your house, I wouldn’t have to look over my shoulder every two seconds to see if the dog was going to jump me. I have been bitten many times because dog owners fail to recognize there pets carnal urge to attack whatever is scared of it. You may not be able to control humans but you can control your pet.
Cute dog though.
I think people in the north have a utilitarian view of dogs.
They are considered more like “farm-animals.” They serve a purpose, they are used for work, and when they get too old or sick they are discarded. (Usually by shooting.)
So dogs are often treated here much like sheep or pigs or cows or goats. Not with overt cruelty, but certainly not with any special treatment or particular friendship either.
