NORSLED HUSKY RESCUE By Carie Broecker It’s happened before, it’ll happen again. The unwitting consequence of a particular breed being portrayed in a movie or television show often leads to the popularization of that breed. This in turn, leads to the overbreeding, overbuying, and subsequent abandonment of the breed. It happened with Dalmatians when 101 Dalmatians came out, it happened with Chihuahuas after the Taco Bell commercial popularized the breed, and now it is happening with Huskies all over the country due to the popular show Game of Thrones.
