Related: I recently watched Werner Herzog's "Happy People: A Year in the Taiga" (can highly recommend). At the end of the documentary, a Siberian hunter returns from his cabin to his home village for Christmas. I takes him an entire day by snowmobile in harsh Siberian winter conditions, and at the end he travels for several hours in total darkness. He does not make a single stop.
His dog travels with him, but not on the snowmobile. He runs next to the snow mobile the entire trip.
Finally, the hunter arrives at the village late in the evening. The dog doesn't even seem to be exhausted. He happily greets the hunter's family members, and a woman casually mentions "well, the dog must be hungry". They give him something to eat, and that's that.
Needless to say, it left me deeply impressed.
