Training Husky Puppies to Become Alaskan Sled Dogs

Ellen King might have the cutest job in the world. As a trainer at Husky Homestead in Alaska, King helps train husky puppies to become sled dogs, getting the energetic canines out to exercise and making sure they’re fed 10,000 calories a day. As a musher, she says it’s exciting to see the dogs’ enthusiasm as they gear up for a sled run, but her main responsibility is making sure the pups are well cared for every step of the way. With a job this adorable, King says she’s “living the dream.”
