Aug. 12, 2010 - Sled dogs have been a apart of Denali Park's history since the beginning. The ranger service offers an introduction to their wonderful team of dogs that provide cultural, low-impact, & sustainable patrol of the park during winter season. These intelligent Alaskan husky, work dogs (who's preferred outdoor temp is minus 10 degrees!) know the ins and outs of the park and never get lost, even in the most blinding thickness of snow. We met the 29 huskies in their kennels and at play during the demonstration as well as 2 pups newly born. Each husky is given an Athabascan Indian name. This was such a wonderful experience to see such happy dogs at play (they don't consider running the sleds work, they get super excited to ride), as well as they were sooooo adorable.

ReplyDeleteMy parents had a big grey husky when I was born! He was the greatest dog and my mom says he wouldn't leave my crib side for anything. Alas some jerk off poisoned him in the early days of Canyon Lake. Stupid people:(. He was a good dog.
