In the old days, dog sleds were one of the only means of transportation. Today, dog sledding is more of a sport (though it always has been) and dogs are used in races. However, there aren't many roads in some towns of Alaska so dog sleds are used as everyday transportation. The main reason is so that the dogs know their way around even when they aren't racing. It's excellent practice for upcoming competitions!
