Sorry to hear about the loss of your lead dog.
I always love watching working dogs do their work. Bird dogs finding and holding quail from 30' away in heavy cover. Border collies running two miles around each corner of a field to push every sheep through the gate. Search and rescue dogs looking for a lost kid.
I have never personally been around sled dogs, but was always amazed to see footage of how excited they were to be hooked into the harness ... so they could run in the bitter cold with a heavy load! What heart they display in both meanings of the word.
