harness
noun
rédea
EN He wanted it because it was his nature, because he had been gripped tight by that nameless, incomprehensible pride of the trail and trace --that pride which holds dogs in the toil to the last gasp, which lures them to die joyfully in the harness, and breaks their hearts if they are cut out of the harness.
GL Desexábaa porque estaba na súa natureza, porque se sentía dominado polo incomprensible orgullo do camiño e o arrastre: ese orgullo que empurra ós cans a tirar do trineo ata a morte, que os leva a morrer con satisfacción baixo das rédeas, que lles destroza o corazón se os arredan do equipo.
