Extract

It is with a feeling of diffidence that I start to write on this subject which has been covered in the past by many experts, but as I have been asked to do so by the Editor of The Polar Record, I propose to go into the treatment and care of huskies fairly thoroughly, giving details which I have found useful, and which I hope may prove equally so to those in charge of the dogs of future expeditions.
