Mushing is a sport that involves pulling a sled or a person on a sled by a team of dogs, typically Alaskan Huskies or Siberian Huskies. It is often associated with cold climates and is popular in regions like Alaska and Canada. The dogs are trained to work together, following commands from a musher, who is the person guiding the sled. In addition to recreational mushing, there are competitive events such as the Iditarod, a famous long-distance race in Alaska. Mushing can also include activities like skijoring, where a person on skis is pulled by a dog, showcasing the versatility of this engaging sport.
