"keep up with a running horse for 30 miles", "immune to insect bites", "withstand extreme temperature changes", "stare death in the eye and move forward", tough feet.... Not my dog!(and from what I read on this board, I'm not alone)
Someone should send the producer of that piece a link to this site where they can read/see about:
- dogs that would rather lie on a sofa than run with a horse
- allergic reactions to numerous types of insect bites/stings
- canine coats for winter and cooling tips for summer
- a sense of self preservation that would probably cause them to avoid eye contact with anything even remotely resembling "death"
- bandaged feet and booties, mushers wax, or other pad protection methods
Don't get me wrong, we love our RR but about the only thing that she has in common with this description is a ridge!
