Life on a husky farm in Finland
On a polar night, I am travelling to a husky farm on the edge of Finland's northern wilderness, deep in the Arctic Circle.
I am there to stay at the farm and experience husky sledding and document the lifestyle. During my stay, I will also help with chores and look after the dogs and horses.
As I arrive, I hear huskies start to bark and howl. I notice in the distance a couple on a sled gliding over the snow and their pack of trotting huskies.
A firm handshake, followed by the woman asking me: "Hey, can you get some water for the huskies and hold them in place?"
"Yes, sure," I respond with a smile. It is straight to work and so that is my first interaction with dog whisperer Tinja Myllykangas, 33.
She and her partner Alex Schwarz, 39, own the husky farm where I am staying. Schwarz is also a professional musher, or a dog-sled driver.
Only a handful of huskies drink, the others prefer to munch on snow.
