Juneau sat down in his usual spot at the front of the pack, glancing at the other lead dog beside him. Working front to back, Benjamin began to clip each dog's harness to the line until everyone was finally hooked up. The husky shifted his weight from forepaw to forepaw in excitement while Benjamin led them outside. He pulled at the harness, encouraging the dogs behind him to move forward as well, panting with the weight of the sled behind him.
Once outside, after a quick inspection of the line, Benjamin went back to the sled and positioned himself on it. With a click of his tongue, he shouted out the word the dogs had longed to hear for so long. "Mush!" Flinching at the word, Juneau threw himself forward, the harness pulling on his chest as he tugged the sled into motion.
Stark danced on his paws, tail wagging in anticipation. As Juneau and Sita tugged the sled forward, he let out a quick yip and lunged forward enthusiastically, the metal clips on his line and harness jingling with every movement.
