What's with Alaska?

Every year, apparently, a diphtheria outbreak hits Alaska and sled dogs are called in to drag that serum to those affected. You would think that by now (and with the advent of modern transportation) they’d figure out how to stockpile the stuff in Alaska so we huskies wouldn’t have to haul it out there every year, but no.

On top of that, for some reason the human woman cartoons this whole event. Come on, I think that’s a bit morbid if you ask me, I don’t know what’s so funny about people suffering with diphtheria and waiting for sled dogs to bring the serum, but hey, whatever, she’s a bit weird in the sense of humor department.

Oh, hang on a second... ok, the Mutatoe has just wikipedia’d this event and apparently its just a RACE. Um, so there’s no dying people and no serum? Then why on earth...

Geez, who knows, whatever. I’ll change that, when I’m queen, the humans will pull the sleds and we’ll ride in the nice comfy bag if they want to celebrate that thing any more.
