The sled dogs are running
in a race.
Look at how fast they run.
Sled dogs love to run fast.

A good sled dog is strong.
It can run fast
while it pulls a sled.
It works well with other dogs.

Sled dogs have thick fur.
The fur keeps them warm
out in the cold.
The dogs wear booties
to protect their feet.

Sled dogs work as a team.
Some teams have 20 dogs.
The dogs that are up front
have an important job.
They lead the team.

Each dog team has a driver.
The driver is called a musher.
The musher tells the dogs
in front how to lead
the team.
Here are some words
that mushers use.
Hike! Get going!
Gee! Turn right!
Haw! Turn left!
Easy! Slow down!
Whoa! Stop!

Some mushers train
their dog teams all year.
In winter, the team pulls
a dog sled.
In summer, the dogs pull
a cart on wheels.

Most dog teams run in races.
One important race is
in Alaska.
Dog teams race mile after mile
on ice and snow.
