Until recently, over half his teammates sacrificed themselves during each race. The rules have not changed, but the strategy has, and only a few dogs die now.

This is a keeper--thank you for writing! "If you do not read (DFR), you might as well not be able to read." And the many quotes are sterling wisdom. I can hardly stand reading about dogs dying, but I'm glad I made it past that part. Keep writing and I'll keep reading.
That and I never knew all those dogs died each year in the Iditarod (sp?). I thought those people loved their dogs and would take care of them. God! I am so stupid.
I'm a sensitive person when it comes to dogs like Duchess. I have a Pitbull & he is the sweetest boy ever. I'm so glad I read this, a great reminder that we need time off. I never know when to rest, which leads to restlessness. My body is definitely telling me to slow down. RIP Max, an excellent dog!
Bookmarking this for the reading recommendations. Some I’ve read and many I haven’t yet. Once and Future King has always been my favorite. I re-read it recently and it was interesting how different it seemed 35 years later. (In a good way!)
If the Itidarod survival is so markedly better while the numbers are better, wouldn't someone have written the story up? It's just begging to be told... :-)

The story is everywhere I think even Wikipedia.
Wow. Beautiful, profound. Thank you.
I'm sorry, can't read about dead dogs anymore...
Yes, I am that soft.
Got to the Jack London passage had to quit.
Maybe I can read another time.
skip past that

great way to think about your life as well. don't burn yourself out
What a dreamy mystical essay. Needed it when so much is so dreary and overwhelming.
Beautiful Doc.
Thanks for your feedback! I thought it would be a bigger hit. I gave it lots of TLC.
A refreshing human interest story. And it makes me look into the mirror about so many hours spent working to restore our freedom.

Read twice as a teenager, Moby Dick is a life lesson that still lives within me.
I have to admit that I never made it all the way though.
Big Thanks Dr. Yoho. Profound & heartening post.

So where is the story about Max and Iditarod?
Max is a metaphor!
Aw. You just ruined my afternoon. :-(

I believe I read that book years ago. Full of chills to say the least.

This was a very special reading for me. Thanks
