“Each of us who were standing on the sledge could spend hours in an the endless Arctic vacuum. The only thing that not left the right to consider himself forever lost, were dogs. The dogs weren’t only the dogs. They were our brothers.
We didn’t just put harnesses on them, harnessed them to sledge and rode where the wind blows. We entrusted them our lives and the final outcome of the event. They were the ones who, silently and hour by hour, day by day did their work without thinking that they were fulfilling someone’s lifelong dream. And this dream came true thanks to the huge work done by the little dog paws. Dogs do not know the weakness of the soul. Their devotion and productivity are affecting and sometimes it even seems that they have two hearts.
It is hard to imagine how such a little furry ball has so much will and strength”
