ORIGINAL SOURCE

From the beginning, Nome [a city in Alaska] depended on its dogs. Teams were drafted into service as mail trucks, ambulances, freight trains, and long-distance taxis. The demand for sled dogs was so high, particularly during the northern gold rushes, that the supply of dogs ran out and a black market for the animals sprang up in the states. Any dog that looked as if it could pull a sled or carry a saddlebag—whether or not it was suited to withstand the cold—was kidnapped and sold in the north. “It was said at the time that no dog larger than a spaniel was considered safe on the streets” of West Coast port towns, said one sled dog historian.
