What makes this dog special?
“Monty is one of my best command leaders, but what is perhaps even more amazing about him is his attitude. He absolutely loves to run, and he does so for the pure joy of running, not to please me. He would run whether I am on the sled or not. One thing about him that drives me crazy, is that when the temperature drops below -30, he will not sleep in his dog house. We worried about it until we realized that when the temperature is below -35, Monty’s daughter will not sleep in her house either.”
