  21. Anonymous says:

    I would hardly call this a game. This is for educational purposes only, and good for school curriculum.

  22. Person123 says:

    I used to think that the dogs were being tortured through this, but then I found out that they actually like it. (BTW I had to read this for a school project, that’s why I read it.)

  23. cj says:

    i think that sledding is the best game in the world because you can see so much when you are sledding and you are arond dogs all the time

  30. Mrs. Mitchell says:

    Excellent for a beginning look at dog sledding. Although it is just a quick look, it is a way to spark interest in the subject in front of the class at the beginning of a unit on the Gold Rush or Call of the Wild. Thank you!

  31. Mrs. Parker says:

    I think the info is good, but I am not sure how to play the game.

    This is the first of heard of this software. When sites require captcha in registration process, this .becomes a big issue where these types of software are .concerned. I don’t think true decaptcha technology .is actually available yet, I’ve yet to find any .software that gets around captcha. With that in mind, you might wanna think twice .about buying those expensive software programs, but .I guess you can try it and later ask for a refund. .pprofits recently posted..How To Make Money – The Big Four Principles

  90. Gabby Loves Wolves says:

    Dog sledding is NOT mean. The dogs are not doing all the work. And the dogs LOVE it. Believe it or not that actually REALLY enjoy it. They were bred for working. We have to keep their traits. The dogs love nothing more than to pull the sled through the snow and to please their owner. It is fun for both the musher and the dogs.
