ACP) — A psychology
professor who races dog

was an excellent writer but

he didn’t know a damn thing

:. He’s not convinced. that

dog. in London's Call of the

, Wild, was realistic.

that

“Part of the folklore is
lead. dogs are

- dominant, [don't even know

if that is true,” Delude said.

' “Maybe it’s not leading at

all. Maybe it's a submissive

Delude is’ relating

He will also study ex-

: ploratory behavior to see if
the same dogs that look into
- every corner of their en-
closure algo strain to look

over the next-hiil. -

Finally, he will see if the
best sled dogs are those that
establish their territofy by
leaving a trace of urine.

Delude is not -the only |

strong, well-fed dogs still
“don’t have the head for it .
and some dogs will run until.

‘until they’re- exhausted.” -

He started his research “
because “like everybody
who, races dogs, I try to
make-them go faster.” He
‘has raced them in several.
