One of a breed of dogs extensively spread over the northern regions of America and of Eastern Asia; it is rather larger than our English pointer, but appears less on account of the shortness of its legs; it has oblique eyes, an elongated muzzle, and a bushy tail, which give it a wolfish appearance; the color is generally a deep dun, obscurely barred and patched with darker color. It is the only beast of burden in these latitudes, and with a team of such dogs attached to his sledge the Eskimo will cover 60 miles a day for several successive days.
