Musher Jon Little defends testing the endurance of sled dogs, typically huskies and malamutes, for the sake of science. 雪橇驾驶者强·李特称,为科学研究测试雪橇犬的耐力特别是哈士奇和爱斯基摩犬的耐力是合理的。
The Alaskan Malamute/ˈmæləˌmjuːt/ is a large breed of domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris) originally bred for hauling heavy freight because of their strength and endurance, and later a sled dog. They are similar to other arctic breeds, such as the Greenland dog, Canadian Eskimo Dog, the Siberian Husky, and the Samoyed.
