Paw Patrol: Greenland's Sirius Dog Sled Patrol
Episode 60
Tuesday, 9 June, 2026
The Sirius Dog Sled Patrol is a Danish Naval Special Forces unit. Named for the brightest star in the night sky, it's tasked with long range reconnaisance, patrolling and maintining Denmark's sovereignty over the vast, Arctic wilderness of North-Eastern Greenland. It was born during the Second World War, enlisting hunters and native Inuits for the purpose of preventing a German presence on the remote North-East coast. Today their role in patrolling Greenland has come into sharp focus with the melting ice opening up new shipping and resource opportunities for the territory. Opportunities drawing the avaricious attention of great powers.
