We take a break from the 2014 races to bring you a special saga of four dogs and their devotion to their food bowls. Sled dogs love food, but some have a special bond with the stainless steel that holds it. This just might be the biggest and best kept secret of sled dogs: many sled dogs excel at a game that is a one-dog version of soccer, rugby and quidditch combined. Professional "bowl wrangling" skill may even have to do with bloodlines, since the dogs with an affinity to dishes are related (at least here at There & Back Again). Without further ado, here is the tale:
Razz (see the backstory of his bowl fascination in previous posts):
It almost got away, but Razz made an expert save...the mark of a true professional.
STAY, I said!!!
Frost - Razz's younger brother, quickly honing his skills...
Hey, it's hard work. Maybe you'd like to FEED me?
A snack, pretty please??
Sure, I can sign some autographs...
Achilles, half-brother to Frost, declined to show his skills.
Although he is a dignified Siberian, Urchin was happy to show how he has perfected the "chomp down."
Ok, ok...I admit, the dogs and I sometimes get carried away in the fun.
