Introduction to this post: When distilling this piece of information for posting, I intended to share with you few issues of specific relation such as the fishing in iced lakes (e.g. Lake Hazen) whereas the thickness of ice was 4-5 feet. In this post, feeding the dogs has been highlighted as key issue in this cold environment whereas the fitness and general health of dogs represent a vital role to the masters from human. You may agree with me about the unfair and seasonal treatment dogs received when their feeding was less during summer when they were less needed, while dog feeding was a top concern during winter when the need was great to pull the human sledge over ice.
