Saving a Dog Covered in Tar
I thought maybe it was a language translation thing. 47 hours does seem awfully long. The whole process seemed a bit off. With that much tar, I would think that shaving the dog and then cleaning the tar residue off the bare skin would be a better way to go. The dog wouldn't look good for a long while after that, but it would get that nasty stuff off him (her) faster.
I have a friend who's volunteered time in an animal rescue organization in Thailand that takes in all sorts of animals including dogs, cats, elephants, monkeys, and rabbits, and probably more. She was part of the dog Team and from what I understand, they snip them to stop reproduction, nurse them back to health, don't release them, and don't have much success in finding foster families. The animals get their health back and have a place to stay and people who care about them, but I think it would be better if they could find permanent homes. I think part of the reason that they sometimes can't is that a lot of the dogs become too 'wild' and wouldn't do well out of a pack setting. Can't say that the group in this video follows any of the same routines, but I'm guessing they probably get neutered even if they can't provide ongoing care. That seems pretty common and a good practice with rescue organizations.
If so, what a weird way to put that. I would hope it was only 3 hours of hard scrubbing, not 47. Poor little guy!
It looks like it might need another hour of work still, I see a lot of matted fur. I also hope they didn't just release it back into the streets.
Top Gear's Special North Pole Challenge

I involuntarily dry heaved at the frostbitten penis.
As opposed to voluntarily?
I heard about this when they were filming it (The Inuit intelligence network is nothing if not efficient).
I found it interesting they imported a white woman to run the dog team, which would've involved flying her and her team into Resolute Bay, at a cost of thousands, when they could have just hired a local Inuk. I'm crazy like that.
Also, cold-weather training in the Austrian Alps is just not smart for preparing for the Arctic. All jokes aside, we are taught to have complete and sullen respect for the Arctic winters - it can kill you for the slightest of mistakes.
And finally, I found it fitting that they all wore Gore-tex, and complained about the cold. A snuggly caribou parka, and they would have been sweating all the way to the pole and back.
How we get to work in Canada
Great video, looks like alot of fun.
I guess if you live in a poverty-stricken part of Canada that can't afford a Rideau Canal, this would be a nice substitute.
When I don't feel like skating on the canal to school, I just catch a ride<>.
Smart Pussy
Smart cat. I wish i had a video of my old dogs teaming up on the back door. They used to open it all the time, the screen door and the main door.
