This gripping expos of the dark side of the commercial dog sledding industry, particularly as it pertains to Alaska's annual Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, is a horrifying heartbreaker.

Ms. Levitt went on a sled ride once, and after a look behind the scenes, took a dog home with her. She will make you want to do the same.

This persuasive documentary about the sled-dog industry focuses on the economics of animal cruelty and aims to inform rather than entertain.

This film shows the reality of the cruel dog sled industry. I could never support such an industry. I don't believe in animal abuse for profit. It is wrong. The film is very eye opening.
