Bill Summary
An Act to Designate the Seppala Siberian Sleddog as the Maine State Dog
AI Summary
This bill designates the Seppala Siberian Sleddog as the official state dog of Maine. The bill adds a new section to the Maine Revised Statutes Annotated (MRSA) Title 1, Section 232, which formally recognizes the Seppala Siberian Sleddog as the state dog. The Seppala Siberian Sleddog is a rare breed of working dog originally developed in Siberia and later used in Alaska for sledding and racing, known for its endurance, strength, and ability to work in extreme cold conditions. By passing this legislation, Maine would be officially acknowledging and celebrating this unique breed's historical significance and contribution to arctic and northern transportation.
