Five Siberian-Malamute sled dogs from N.W.T. attract huge interest from crowds.

The city is going to the dogs. The Northern Huskies dog sled team will be out roaming the streets in and around the downtown core for the next two days.

The five Siberian-Malamute crosses, who will obviously be without their sled since there’s no snow, will be accompanied by their owners Olav and Judi Falsnes of NWT’s Arctic Chalet resort.

The dogs are being paraded on the streets from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. because of the overwhelming crowds they attract.

“It’s been really busy, there’s been a lot of interest,” said spokeswoman Tara Buchan.

The dogs will be in town until Feb. 22, but they won’t be on the streets on Saturday and no decision has been made as to whether they’ll be inside or out on Sunday and Monday.
