Summer's Not So Fine For Greenland's Huskies.The sound of indignant howling wafts over the rooftops of a tiny Arctic town.
It is coming from the second largest group of inhabitants of this distant place. They are feeling bored, hot, and fed up with the clouds of mosquitoes buzzing relentlessly around their ears.Three thousand five hundred huskies live here.But for the huskies, the summer months are about as interesting as a dead cat.All 3,500 of them are huskies. Other breeds are banned in this part of the world to ensure that they remain untainted, and eager and willing to tow Greenlanders around the snow for ever more.
They spend their days at the end of long chains, yapping and napping, and waiting for their owners to arrive to feed them dried fish and scraps of seal from the nearby ocean.
