People will never guess where I come from. Chocolate and any dry meat are usually my favorite snacks. Dogs teach a different thing every day if you have your eyes open. Definitely how powerful and loyal they can be is something that never stop to surprise me. I love mushing because give me the opportunity to interact with dogs in a very deep level. The thing I like the most of mushing is get to know the different qualities of each dog and be part of the same team with them. Thanks to Dallas Seavey for all the trust and be a example of how much passion a person can have
