5.0 out of 5 stars
Great for anyone who loves sled dogs,
By AvidReader04 (NY) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dogs of the Iditarod (Paperback)
Being partial to sled dogs myself (I am owned by two) I very much enjoyed leafing through this book. I actually bought it as a gift for my brother who adopted an Alaskan Husky last year, but I may have to buy another copy for myself!
Good portraits of the various types of dogs which nowadays run this intense and challenging race. The photos and text give you a glimpse into the world of sled dog racing, yet the book also shows the "gentler" and "calmer" side of these magnificent animals (lets enjoy the quiet times, as we know, calm or slow is not really an important part of their vocabulary!). If you love sled dogs, get this book, it is worth it.
