To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To correct them a short whip, with an enormously long lash, all of walrus hide, is so dexterously used that an expert ON DOGS AND DIFFICULTIES 147 driver can flick a piece out of any particular dog's ear. Occasionally, a refractory dog is pulled in by its trace for punishment. They know the meaning of this, and anticipate the beating by a lively howling ; so that merely to shorten a trace, may exert a good moral effect on a team. The " trail " is usually over the frozen sea, the land being too ...uneven. Good dogs will cover from 70 to 100 miles in a day. When starting in the morning the snow is covered with little icicles, formed by the mid-day sun melting the frozen surface. As this is apt to make the feet of the dogs bleed, they are shod with a bag of seal-skin, tied round the ankle. Three small holes are cut for the claws. A pup shod for the first time, holds up his paws in the air alternately ; but once he learns to appreciate the fact that shoes save his feet from being cut, though he will always eat any ordinary piece of skin, such as on a kayak or a skin boot, he rarely eats his own shoes.
