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)
“Ms. Dog wouldn’t give them her buttocks.
She would moon at them.
Just at the killers of the dream.
The bus boys of the soul.
Or at death
who wants to make her a mummy.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
