“If you’re not lead dog the view never changes.”

Except 1) actual lead dogs potentially have a shitty position, and the team member with the cushiest deal here is actually the musher 2) no matter what a dog’s doing it’s vital and positioning may swap out to keep dogs fresh 3) there is such a thing as a fan hitch and 4) most mushers think pretty damn highly of their dogs.

It’s kinda the worst source of macho metaphor ever.
