Canine Weight Pulling
... is a sport in which a single dog, equipped with a specially designed weight pulling/freighting harness, pulls a cart or sled loaded with weights over dirt, carpet, snow or even rails, a specified distance (16 feet) within a specified amount of time. It is a modern adaptation of a bygone era, when dogs were used as freight animals to move cargo.
