Thank you so much brother the trip was a blast and the edit was a wild learned so much even more hooked then before

I watched this documentary after reading Jonathon’s book “The Togo 261”. I fell in love with dogs in the book, so it was heart warming to see them live in action. I’m so inspired by this story and now I dream of being a musher!

Sawyer is retiring made me cry he is blind and has some one to give him love this man is awsome I seen horable treated dods in sled racing after watching this and only hav most respect of how he races today him and love of his dog

Thank you for posting this. There is no connection like a Seppala connection that will always remain in my heart. Thank you for making this Great film.

It was a pleasure to find this documentary, an unforgettable time in history. To think he has the opportunity to care for this rare, historical bloodline, what an honor! The film was put together beautifully! Thank you

Mid Sept here in the foothills of the Alberta Rockies and waiting for weather to cool enough for some dryland training! My sled is all repaired after an accident on the 1st day of Spring 2023, due to trails chewed up by ATVs, a new coat of varnish and new runners...BRING on the SNOW😁👍👍 Thanks for the inspiration! Story of Sawyer brought a few tears to my eyes, I had a dog, Dash, who lost his eyesight to glaucoma in 2017. You could not slow him down, even blind he was the best puller on my team for another 2 years, until he took a fall, due to his blindness, which started arthritis problems. I had to say goodbye to him in August of 2022, at the age of 16 years, 2 months. His heart and his "never quit" attitude were still strong, however his body could no longer keep up. I know he is back pulling on the team North of the Rainbow Bridge and loving his new afterlife💖💖

Three words....Brave and Pure...

Love this story. I was a recreational musher for twenty years. Ran purebred Siberian teams of four to six dogs in southern New England - CT, MA, RI, and one trip to Tug Hill Plateau in NY. What you do is another world entirely. Your dogs are beautiful. I have a Border Collie mix now but there is nothing like a husky. My last husky passed in June 2022 and the house simply is not the same without one.

For ice balls on dogs' feet, there is nothing better than Musher's Secret. You can get it on Amazon. It doesn't keep their feet warmer but it keeps the ice from forming between their pads. The Iditerod dogs use it. It's all natural so it doesn't matter if they lick it off later. It won't stain carpets or floors either. It's amazing stuff! You HAVE to get some, especially if you're a musher. And btw, I LOVE this film! Great job!!

Poor sawyer being blind triping all over must of made it hard on him your true love of dogs letting him run with your team I like seeing the way he runs the Iditarod is awsome but you need 100s of dogs and take the best with 2 spare in the sled it's too serious for fun hope their OK from eating that moose meat seems like mose meat didn't agree with them Diarra isent good either at the end of race the they where pulling at their own speed and need 3 day rest before race like this you really need to get them use to hard run every day let them build go strong muscles like he even sead if you could give them rest let the muscels heal they would be 2 time better

Beautiful documentary. As a Siberian Husky and Alaskan Malamute owner remember that several Sled Dogs die during every Iditarod Sled Dog race because their idiot mushers literally drive them into exhaustion. Iditarod rules say mushers need to start with 12 to 14 Sled Dogs and finish with at least 5. The Iditarod is a Sled Dog race to death. Iditarod Sled Dog mushers are killers. It's that simple and true!

Got to ask man. Why do you not sock your dogs? Great movie and fantastic acheivement for you and all your dogs.

great question- the mixed breed racing huskies (or Alaskan huskies as they are called) are much faster than our dogs- but have weaker feet. Our dogs have very tough feet that do not require booties PROVIDED that we keep the hair trimmed enough between the toes. I had trimmed them but should have trimmed them again closer to the trip.

They don't automatically need booties if their feet are properly hardened. Their pads can get as hard as concrete! Dogs are naturally the ultimate endurance runners in cold climates; just like horses, their feet are designed to carry them vast distances.

I'd love have small teem but like he sead you can't just put them off to the side in putty VT a man has sled dog team and they never barked one time when I'd go up to the door I felt bad diving up one of his dead dogs under wood chip pile it was barely covered up and I tried over the skeleton

Besides trying to dismiss the blizzard Balto went through and the hatred Seppala had for Kaasen--Maine is nowhere near as difficult as Alaska.

Hi- Jonathan Hayes here (from the doc).Thanks for the comment! I was in Alaska last winter training and racing in multi day races. I mushed nearly a thousand miles in Alaska in just the month of January. No two trails are alike- Alaska or Maine. And while the blizzard and temps were severe during the original "race for life" there also a few advantages- fresh teams and fresh mushers every 30-50 miles. Large teams (much larger than my 8 in this expedition). Colder temps mean better trails for the dogs. Warmer temps mean slush- which increases the workload of the dogs exponentially. A wee traveled winter trail that dogs knew well there as apposed to breaking trail here etc. So I will say that Seppala and his team experienced much more brutal complications than we did on this expedition. But we did experience greater hardship than a great many other mushers that participated in that run 100 years ago.
