You can learn something from caring for training sled dogs

We all know Twitter can be a pretty depressing place, but it can also offer up some real gems. A series of tweets by dogsledder Blair Braverman, author of "Welcome to the Goddamn Ice Cube: Chasing Fear and Finding Home in the Great White North," went viral over the weekend, lighting up thousands of timelines — and not just because of all the adorable dog photos. Braverman used the Twitter thread to explain how the process of caring for and training sled dogs has helped to change the way she thinks about her own body.
"Y'all, having sled dogs has been so good for my body image," she said. "And not because mushing is a joy-filled, physical outdoor activity, although that’s true. It’s actually something much simpler than that... I grew up learning that all bodies are different. Ok, yeah, that’s true. Whatever. All bodies are different. I get it."
But that "all bodies are different" lesson only truly started to sink in when she started to think outside the context of human bodies.
All bodies are different. "And I don't mean that in some flip way," Braverman said. "I mean it in a bone-deep, beautiful, complicated way."
Each dog has its own appetites, its own quirks, its own needs.
And as Braverman became increasingly familiar with how to train each dog according to their own body and needs, she realized that this is just as true of human beings.
The parallels are hard to miss, actually.
Not every dog is made for running hundreds of miles, nor is every person. We don't get anywhere by comparing ourselves to others.
"The dogs’ bodies aren’t up to them, just like ours aren’t," said Braverman. "There’s no value judgment. They are what they are... And every single one is magnificent."
So remember that next time you're in the gym. Or pulling a sled.
