* ''Anime/DoraemonGreatAdventureInTheAntarcticKachiKochi'' has an impressive example as Doraemon and gang, in two separate sleds, crosses the Antarctic on a frenetic sled chase. They don't have dogs, but they have two rolls of Robot Wire which can take any forms by playing a tune, so they travel using two-dimensional robot sled-dogs made of wire. It works surprisingly well.

* Much of ''Literature/WhiteFang'''s narration is devoted to the organization of dogsleds and the politics thereof. Makes sense, given that it's the main mode of transportation in the far north.
