[@daniellehylton5654]

Amazing

[@drewhunkins7192]

Which dogs are better for pulling sleds: Huskies or Malamutes? Thank you.

[@deborahmartyn97]

Except for very annoying , distracting background noise ("music) this is an awesome video, thanks!

[@yolandawilliamson5988]

Yes they were born to run but free not constrained to a harness.

What about the dogs that are suffering, dying, bad living conditions?

[@ATravelingManOfGod]

Like the ones trapped in cages in tiny apartments all day while their owners are at work?

The music or noise in the background is too loud an annoying. It interrupts rather than accompanies the narration. Can't take it anymore, sorry, I'm out of hear or here. Oh and the text is not on the screen very long, i missed much of it, this isn't a race is it?

Why don't they show the exhausted dogs being forced to run show the people the living conditions the poor dogs have to endure yes they were born to run but not to the point of exhaustion not saying all owners treat their animals this way there probably some decent people out there

[@Plutonium_94]

they don’t run to the point of exhaustion, there’s checkpoints every hundred miles or so that the dogs get medical attention, plenty of treats and toys and more. fact check yourself before you wreck yourself.

@@Plutonium_94 your delusional you check your facts before trying to tell me anything it's a cruel sport and some dogs have died whilst harnessed is that OK is it OK the dogs spend their days running in circles whilst chained to a box no its not

[@Plutonium_94]

@@joannefarmer1109 dogs have died, but on very rare occasions where their owner didn’t take the proper precautions, not the dogs dying of exhaustion. they are very rarely chained to boxes, get the attention and love they deserve, and love what they do. i’m not delusional, maybe you’re just wrong. maybe think about that? also this is like the most florida comment even lol, you can’t comment about it if you aren’t even here to witness it.

@@Plutonium_94 I'm not there im in the UK and involved in animal protection but have seen undercover footage of the treatment of the dogs and some of it weren't good Dogs so exhausted but still forced to run practically picking them up of the floor some people have no regards for the dogs welfare as long as it runs

[@Plutonium_94]

@@joannefarmer1109 if they do faint from exhaustion, they just get sent back and get tons of medical attention and food, which rarely happens. you can’t say anything if you’re from the UK, as I live in Alaska and have basically watched the entire sled dog race in person, the dogs love it. the only things you see is select footage people pick out to make it look bad.

what is the deal with the music...unwatchable!

Very beautiful kisss 💋

[@anniedorward9588]

5 Facts they don't tell. The animals suffer terribly. They are not fed properly . They are cruelly treated. The dogs live outside in freezing temperatures. They discarded when they are of no use. This is abuse on animals. Let the people pull the sleigh then that will be a test of endurance.

[@saraburnett3871]

haters gonna hate. The dogs LOVE what they do and would get incredibly depressed if they weren't allowed to work.

[@Sarah-u2c2i]

I don't think you've ever owned a husky. They live for this. They love this. You probably dislike the Kentucky Derby too. Trust me, the people that own these animals take very good care of them.

[@JohnDoe-pm3oq]

Here's 1 fact about annie. She/he/it is a dumbazz

[@allandickman774]

This is a very cruel sport😮

[@JohnDoe-pm3oq]

To the contrary.

[@t.7496]

Actually at least half of the dogs in the iditarod don't make it. They don't have a choice in this competition. They are forced to go further when they're totally exhausted. Don't who don't run fast enough get abandoned or killed. The breeding conditions for these dogs are horrible. As you can see they're life is nothing more than being chained up in the cold, or being forced to run. Yes dogs can love this sport, but the extremety of this particular race is 100% cruel and goes beyond what 'dogs love'. Please educate yourself with about this race with information that PETA and other wellfare organizations offer. Don't think dogs love this race, just because humans want them to.

Animal abuse. No other way to describe this.

[@Plutonium_94]

not at all. the dogs love what they do, and get plenty of attention and medical help whenever they need it. shut up and go worry about some other problem besides bot fact checking and trying to ruin a big part of alaska history
