A New Brunswick man making a 3,000-kilometre dog sled trek from Manitoba to his home province says the journey thus far has been “a mix of beauty and terror.” Justin Allen and his 12 Alaskan huskies left Churchill, Man., on Jan. 22. If you misplan or go out ill-prepared it can cost you a lot — potentially your life.” Allen, 34, said he discovered dog sledding by accident. He was travelling across Canada when he visited Churchill in 2012 and decided to volunteer at a dog kennel for a few weeks. Boss Dog Expeditions will offer dog sled rides, dog-assisted hikes and camping trips. Allen will soon continue crossing Ontario and then Quebec before winding up in Saint John sometime in mid-April.
