Climate change impacts: Say goodbye to the huskies of Scotland

Different dog breeds have different superpowers. Consider the hyper-powered nose of a bloodhound, able to track any villain; or the Chihuahua, with its uncanny ability to irritate its enemies to death. Huskies have a superpower too: endless stamina and a mad need to use it. Let the others sniff and yelp – baby, they were born to run.

Sadly, for the snow dogs of Scotland, the days of running are drawing to a close. Not because their desire is diminished, but because the climate has changed so completely as to make their continued exertion inhumane and dangerous. Huskies have high core temperatures when running and anything above 11C isn't safe; Scotland's winters have become so warm that owners Alan and Fiona Stewart have decided to pack up the Cairngorm Sled Dog Centre.
