Denali Working Dogs

On Thursday we took the park bus back to the visitor center to get a sense of the park. We took a short hike and went to see a program on the sled dogs they use in the park. During the winter, when none of the roads are plowed, the only methods of transportation are cross country skiing, snowshoeing and sled dogs. The dogs in the park are bred specifically for strength and endurance rather than speed. They are also bred for human compatibility-these dogs are friendly! My favorites were Nuna and Prusik. Prusik is a black and white 2 year old and Nuna is one of the most petable and a great lead dog.
