What does the word MUSHING mean? It is a team of draft dogs that is driven along a track.

a musher is a rider who drives the team from a sled, cart or other vehicle using his or her voice.The musher is usually obeyed by the first two dogs in the team - the leaders. "The "back dogs", or rear dogs, can also be called wheel dogs. The hinds pull the most weight - these are dogs that are capable of very hard work. In the middle of the sled are the team dogs - just behind the leaders.
