Husky Heroes: Dogsled Spectacular January 30, 2011

Several thousand spectators typically turn out for the annual event - which has become an Arboretum tradition. Teams of three to six dogs pull sleds while "mushers" control the teams. The demonstrations occur several times each hour in the area near the Hedge Garden. The burly beauties with thick fur, yelp with delight as they run, run, run! In addition, the Arboretum presents a demonstration of skijoring - in which dogs pull a person on cross country skis.
