The Alaskan Malamute Club of Wisconsin returns to the Humane Society of Southern Wisconsin next month for the annual “Pooch Pull.”

Business Development Director Katie Swedlund says local dogs are invited to compete against professional canine athletes as they pull a series of weighted carts on February 18th.

Swedlund says dogs need to weigh more than 30 pounds and be less than 10 years old to compete.

Swedlund says members of the public are invited to come watch the dogs compete and purchase chili and hot drinks to benefit the Humane Society.
