  Pack animal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A pack animal is a beast of burden used by humans as means of transporting materials by attaching them so their weigh bears on the animal's back; the term may be applied to either an individual animal or a species so employed.
Many ungulate species are traditional pack animals, including elephants, camels, the yak, reindeer, and llama, and many of the domesticated Equidae.
Another unconventional form of draft animal may be the dogs who are brought along on hikes carrying their own supply of drinking water and snacks on their backs, whether to provide them more exercise, or in pursuit of a hikers' ethic of "everyone carries their own gear".

 Working animal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A working animal is a semi-domesticated animal that is kept by humans and often trained to perform various tasks, regardless whether they are also used for consumption of meat and milk or for other products (such as leather).
The history of working animals is as old as agriculture, and possibly longer, some speculate, and has encompassed most aspects of human civilization down to the present day with millions of animals working in symbiotic relationships with their owners around the world, particularly in poorer countries and in agricultural industries.
As the practice of using working animals spans millennia it has accrued much folk lore and forms an important connection between religion and agriculture, and is a specific focus of research in agricultural science.

 Holistic Animal Behavior: Human-Animal Pack Dynamics
In the most general of terms, animals which prefer to live in groups are referred to as social, compared to solitary animals which spend much of their time alone.
When evaluating human-canine pack structure, a convenient rule of thumb is to use the mantra, "Leaders initiate, followers react." In a human-centered pack, the humans spend more of their time initiating interactions with the dog that reacting to it.
Moreover, whereas a subordinate wild social animal would rarely, if ever, need to confront any threats alone and most threats handled by the pack would be relatively few and of short-duration, the average canine house-pet left home alone may experience the physiological and behavior effects of its aberrant social structure on a daily basis.

 The Phillips Pack Saddle - Part II, Saddling
After the animal is on the road for a few miles its belly draws up and the saddle, under weight of load, settles in place.
The settling of the saddle and the contraction of the animal's belly cause a looseness of cinch pressure, without movement of the cinch straps.
It is adjusted for extension of the animal at the gallop, consequently it is comparatively loose at the walk and trot.

 The Nature of the Beast   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
The wolf is a pack animal and the pack gives the wolf his primary underlying behavioral traits, dominance and subordinance.
The pack leader enforces and defends his position in a relatively bloodless manner with several ritual behaviors that act on the instinctive level.
In a wild pack where the members are not skillful at reading dominance levels and emotional states of fellow pack members, chaos and fighting would predominate, and the pack would not have time to hunt enough game to feed themselves.
