The Husky Dogs of Labrador.

All along the coast at every Eskimo
encampment and about the cabins of the
liveyeres are numbers of husky dogs. In
winter these animals pull the sledges
and form the sole means of travel or
communication from settlement to settle
ment. During the summer they are not
fed by their owners, but are left to seek
their sustenance as best they can.
Hence the hungry brutes range the land
near the coast and add to the problems
OF Labrador, as they permit no creature
to live that they can pull down. If
horse were to be turned out to grass
overnight, only its bare bones would be
found in the morning. Even to human
beings they are sometimes dangerous
when night begins to fall, and on occa-
sion, when hard driven by hunger, they
have been known to attack children in
the day. Considering they are hardly
ever fed in the summer, one only Won
ders that there are not more ill deeds to
set to their account. January Wide
