Women’s Institute, Alan Cowie spoke about his time on the Husky Trail in Lapland. Alan helps raise money for Galloways Society for the

deserving cause. He spent six nights under


canvas in temperatures of 25 degrees and colder, driving his own sledge pulled by six huskies. Members learnt that the pure bred husky isn’t used


in Lapland and that several breeds such as labradors, retrievers and greyhounds - have been used to raise a strong sledge dog. Apparently


one of the only places to see a pure-bred husky is Crufts. The competitidn for the cutest dog ornament was won byAlisonFleming.-
