Russia’s Kamchatka Sled Dogs
Russia Today reported that Russian dogs that pull sleds in the winter have taken up a new summertime challenge — ‘bike jogging.’
Russia’s Far Eastern Kamchatka Peninsula — an area that has a climate that ranges from temperate to subarctic — has introduced a new summer sport for Kamchatka dogs. The region’s four-legged residents — used to pulling sleds in winter — have taken to “bike-jogging” to keep up their fitness throughout the summer.
In the northern winter, severe weather conditions mean dogs often provide the only means of transportation in Kamchatka.
Local two-leggeds also organised a race to encourage canine competition.
