Greenlandic dogsleigh-adventure (II)

Time 2 abuse sum cute doggies and go on a dogsleigh-trip!
To b fair, the dogs here r definately not seen as pets, but as an useful animal!
And also if u first think they treat the dogs in a bad way, think about how we treat pigs or cows....
Actually the dogs are chained outdoors, but they have to pull a sleigh at least 2 times a week - otherwise they would forget the orders :o)
Regarding that quite a lot of people I know have their dogs chained or caged without taking them 4 a walk that often (sheila), the Greenlandic dogs' live could b worse.....


That is my crew: joe, ros and this inuit guy!!!!



that's how u sit on a sleigh..... we all felt like kids

here u can see the whole thing in action

and the front view

i so wanned 2 take one with me :o)

our destination, the glacier on the other side of the frozen fjord
