Well, camels can carry twice as much as the Alpha Dog, so you'd actually need 250 camels. Camels don't even need to eat every day. They eat pretty much anythin

Well, camels can carry twice as much as the Alpha Dog, so you'd actually need 250 camels.
Camels don't even need to eat every day. They eat pretty much anything that grows in the desert. It looks like they can eat "up to" 10 lb/day. Being a desert animal, the camel has a exceptionally efficient kidneys, so they don't need to urinate a lot.
There's a reason people have used camels for thousands of years in the desert. In the Middle East healthy camel costs around $1000. That cost must include food, breeding, training, etc. It's hard to imagine ever getting the price of an Alpha Dog down to that level.
I also have a hard time believing that a camel is less resilient than a human being in its native environment.
