They use them to pull sled through the snow.
In dog sledding, or "mushing", the wheel dogs are the two closest to the sled, and assist in steering, especially on tight curves. In this position, they have to be aware of the sled's position, and not become startled when the rider or load shifts around.
If there is more weight on the front of the sled it will want to dig into the snow. If there is too much weight on the rear of the sled then it will tend to drag. Weight should be placed as evenly as possible over the runners.
Yes, the word "sled" contains a short vowel sound. In this case, the "e" in sled is pronounced with a short /ɛ/ sound.
The dog that runs in front is known as the lead dog.
Where the musher puts it right in front of their faces.
As the sled is low on the ground then if the person was also that lowthen it would be the same either front or back.So as the person is higher than the sled ...Being behind does push forward but also slightly down.In front then the sled is pulled forward and also up slightly.
No, the word 'sled' has a short E sound as in bed and fed.
