Who carries who, dogs or humans? It depends on where you live. Mushing Dogs in Alaska Robert Forto dreams of running his sled dogs in the Iditarod … a thousand-mile race. But it’s not as simple as training for a long race. It’s about building a pack one dog at a time and learning to mush one mile at a time. His dream takes determination, grit, athleticism, and sacrifice … including spending summers in Alaska, training with his pack. Maxine the Fluffy Corgi New Yorkers love their fast and inexpensive subway system … and the City’s dog lovers wanted to be able to take their dogs with them. So the City made a rule: dogs can ride, if they’re in a bag. The Bag Dog culture that sprang up as a result is both pragmatic and hilarious. Meet Maxine, one of the most famous and most photographed Bag Dogs … Webby-award-nominated for her subterranean backpacking sojourns. The Hydrant Jim and Pam stop by the hydrant to sniff out the latest dog gossip, innuendo, jokes, and notes.
