Harnessing History: On the Trail of New Hampshire's State
Dog, the Chinook
This program looks
at how dog sledding developed in New Hampshire and how the Chinook played a
major role in this story. Explaining how man and his relationship with dogs won
out over machines on several famous polar expeditions, Bob Cottrell covers the history
of Arthur Walden and his Chinooks, the State Dog of New Hampshire.
