dog team

Harnessed husky group

A dog team is a group of dogs, typically huskies or malamutes, harnessed together to pull a sled across snow or ice.

Dog teams were essential for Arctic exploration and remain central to sled dog racing: The dog team covered fifty miles before nightfall.

The musher commands the team from behind the sled.
