A dog race in Alaska

  On 13th  February , there is a race between Alaska and Canada. The participants are: huskies and their "mushers". They race 1.650 kilometres on snow and ice. 

The dogs travel in separated compartimens in special trucks.

Because they ran 65 kilometres a veterinarian examines the dogs. The dogs have special bootees. The bootees protect the dogs from the cold. Dogs sleep on straw.
