Dinner time

Sled dog on the edge of a frozen stream holds down its dinner with one paw and tugs on it with its teeth. This is a pure breed of working dogs that has a relationship with humans reaching over thousands of years, creating a unique sled dog culture that is in danger of disappearing. In much of Greenland it is illegal to import any dog from outside and since 2017 all dogs have to be microchipped and registered in the Greenland dog database.

    Another well done 'slice of life' capture of this area. Interesting information about the sled dogs and glad to read that care is being taken to protect the species.
