Frightened Stray Lured To Safety By Woman Pretending To Be Injured

Stories circulated of a stray dog living in the wilderness of Evans Creek, Washington, so locals Amanda Guarascio and Dylan Parkinson decided to find the poor pup and bring him back to civilization.

When they arrived at the off-road-vehicle park, they discovered a frail, bony dog sitting in the location he had reportedly been seen.

After several hours of attempting to coax the dog into their own car with food, they decided to try something a little more appetizing and left the park to purchase hot dogs. Though the pup accepted the weiners, he wouldn’t get in their vehicle.

They returned the next day to find the pup again and decided that a more unconventional approach was need to earn the dog’s trust. Instead of trying to woo the dog with food, they appealed to its sense of doggie decency.

Amanda laid down on the ground pretending to be hurt. The pup, who has since been named Baby Bear, came to inspect Amanda, slowly moving towards her to sniff and investigate.

But Bear lost interest.
Given the cold temperatures, Amanda returned to the warmth of her and Dylan’s vehicle before she went back out and tried again. This time, she very slowly crawled toward him, inches at a time.
“Finally, I got right up next to Bear,” Guarascio wrote. “He growled a little bit, so I started whimpering and yawning, which is a calming signal, and continued to slowly get closer and closer until I was rested up against the sweet little Baby Bear!”

She spent the next two hours warming him with her body, petting him and speaking softly. When she was finally able to slip a leash around his neck, Bear was too fatigued to walk anywhere.
“From 9 pm on I had to carry him everywhere!” Amand said. “I had to pick him up and put him in the truck and then we snuggled together until we got to the vet.”

Amanda and Dylan are trying to find the dog’s family, since they believe that he was probably with his family in Evans Creek and wandered off the trail, getting lost. If you have any information regarding Baby Bear, please call 253-327-5318.

But don’t worry. If his rightful family isn’t found, the Useless Bay Sanctuary will find him a new furever home.

Dog Sledding Equipment

Dog sledding has a history of thousand years. It was started when the Inuit made their first sled known as “komatik”. The equipment needed for dog sledding has evolved since then. The sled, gang-line everything has been improved a great deal, but the overall structure remains pretty much the same. The main equipments needed for dog sledding incorporates the following: SLED: The main part of dog sledding equipment is the sled. Dog sledding was possible with the invention of sled. The first sled was made by the Inuit. It was made from various kinds of wood like birch or ash. A sled has to be strong and flexible as well as water proof. So, a lot of care should be taken in making a sled. Inuit also used another type of sled called basket sled. It was made from mid-range floating basket. These two kinds of sled are still common today. But modern sled builders are experimenting with other materials like fiberglass, aluminums etc. DOG HARNESS: Dog harness is the straps used to hold the sled ...

Sled Dog Diet

Considering that a sled dog can burn up to 10,000 calories a day their diet must be strictly controlled to keep them healthy and energized.  Replacing 10,000 calories is difficult but fortunately most sled dogs do not burn that much unless they have been performing at max capacity for the entire day. On races or trips where you can only eat what you can carry the available dietary options for a sled dog team are significantly limited. If you are going to be out for 3-5 days with your team of 10 sled dogs you can’t really afford to carry the 250 pounds of food that they would normally have to eat to replenish the calories that they burn. On trips like this the musher will normally bring along food that is incredibly high in calories, sometimes as high as 2,500 calories per pound, so that he can make the most of his limited space. Because sled dogs require so many calories per day, especially in the winter, they normally eat a few small meals throughout the day instead of eating ...

The Costs of Dog Sledding

Dog sledding, like most activities comes with plenty of different hidden costs but these tend to be much less than the upfront costs that is immediately discernable. The most expensive investment a dog sled team owner has is the team itself. Dog sled teams can be as small as four to six dogs or as large as sixteen dogs. While some sled dogs from semi-legitimate breeders can cost only a few hundred dollars as pups, most of the pure bred sled dogs can be worth thousands of dollars. If you decide to buy trained dogs the expense can quickly get out of hand, requiring an initial investment of as much as $200,000 for a small team of dogs. In addition to buying the dogs you also have to take care of them on a daily basis and as you can imagine feeding a team of large sled dogs every day isn’t going to be cheap. Of course along with a sled team you will also have to purchase a sled yourself, unless you have the skills to make one by hand. A very basic wooden basket sled will probably cost ...
