In winter, when the seas are frozen, Eskimos can not use their boats to hunt food. They have difficulty getting from one place to another. Sled dogs can pull the sleds across the snow and ice so the Eskimos can hunt food and bring their food back to their homes. Sled dogs have been necessary in the Arctic as long as there have been Eskimos.
