Notes: Shen and Sika take part in a race to the Arctic with a sledge pulled by 66 pug dogs.
The Race to the Top of the World! It comes around once in a lifetime, and the prize? Your heart's desire. Shen and Sika can't resist the chance to win, but competition is fierce. The path to victory is littered with snow trolls, sea monsters, and a gang of particularly hungry yetis.
But Shen and Sika have something the other contestants don't have.
Actually, they have 66 other things - pugs to be exact.
That's a 264 paw-powered sled. Let the race begin!
