Sled Dog
Sled dogs (or sleddogs/sleigh dogs) are work dogs that are used to pull a sled over snow or ice by means of dog harnesses and lines. This is called "mushing", and the person directing the dog team, a "musher". Today, sled dogs are used mostly for recreation.

Famous quotes containing the words sled and/or dog:
“I weathered some merry snow-storms, and spent some cheerful winter evenings by my fireside, while the snow whirled wildly without, and even the hooting of the owl was hushed. For many weeks I met no one in my walks but those who came occasionally to cut wood and sled it to the village.... For human society I was obliged to conjure up the former occupants of these woods.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“You call to a dog and a dog will break its neck to get to you. Dogs just want to please. Call to a cat and its attitude is, “What’s in it for me?””
—Lewis Grizzard (1946–1994)
