Have you ever worked dogs 🐕 behind a sled 🛷?

Working dogs can be a fairly scary thing to do, but considering my paternal grandmother being Sami I have close relatives that we used to go to in the late winter after Christmas 🎅 to see and have fun with in the snow in the northern forests and mountains. As a ten years old I would work the dogs 🐕 with the sled, and I also learned how to drive a jet ski over the cold winter ground.

There is an annual race in Alaska called the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. It's "an annual long-distance sled dog race held in Alaska in early March. It travels from Anchorage to Nome. Mushers and a team of between 12 and 16 dogs, of which at least 5 must be on the towline at the finish line,[1] cover the distance in 8–15 days or more."

The riders on the sleds are called Mushers, because Mush is the bastardization of the original word "Marche!" that French Trappers used to yell to make their dogs run!
