Just when you think you've seen or heard of every kind of snow transportation, someone comes along on a dog scooter. (Nope. Spell-check hasn't even heard of that one.) We were scouting new photography workshop sites when a man parked behind me and unloaded a scooter for his two "best friends" to pull him on the snow packed trail. It was a photo op that was too good to pass up. All three were excited but only one could contain himself.
Finally they all took off together, almost. First, the dogs went straight for the river but stopped when a black lab came from the other direction. Once the lab passed and everything was under control, they headed down the road with the dog scooter in tow. Fortunately, the scooter had deep-tread tires and good brakes in case the dogs saw another attractive diversion.
Ken,
ReplyDeleteThese are great photos. Thanks.
Believe it or not, both dogs are Mackenzie River Huskies. The B/W is Deh Cho, a 4 year old female recreational dog. The golden is Mario, an eight year old male, now retired from a life as a freighting dog in Germany.
