How were dogs connected to dog sleds?
well Inuits attached their dogs to sleds using ropes made from seal guts
NO! This is not at all correct! "Seal guts" were considered food. Historically and even today many arctic mushers still use very long (up to 18 feet) thin strips of bearded seal to create the "tuglines" that attach from the back of each dog's harness to the "bridle" that attaches to the front of the "qamutiq" (sled). This long material was actually ONE piece of seal hide. Although the bearded seal is only about 9 feet long, the strips were cut in a circular pattern going around and around the seal's body from head to tail allowing for one long continuous piece of leather. Each tugline was made with a loop at one end for a bone or antler toggle at the end of the sealskin harness to go through. The other end had a piece of bone or antler with a hole in it through which the leather of the sealskin bridle went through to attach all the tuglines to the qamutiq.
What famous musher owned both Balto and Togo?
Gunnar Kassen was the musher who led Balto, but the musher who led Togo was Leonhand Seppala.
im pretty sure a lahmbroghini and a Chevy Tahoe drive him. :)
I've heard differently, he was pulled over yesterday and it was a V12engine. i don't know what car it was, but that's the only clue. and I've heard that in that MTVcribs episode, MTV gave him the lambroghini b/c he only had the Tahoe. apparently he didn't know how to open the lambroghini's door.I'm sure that he has a Range Rover,I saw him in one.and he was pulled over in a Mercedes s65 amg
