I chose Dallas Seavey as my musher to follow during the Iditarod. He is a veteran musher from Virginia. He is a third generation musher who grew up helping his dad with the dogs. He ran the Junior Iditarod four times. He is a high school state champion, a Junior Iditarod champion, and was the 2005 world champion. I chose this musher because he is fast, so it will be a challenge for me to read faster to keep up with him!
Meeting a real musher was wonderful for us. The first thing I saw was some cute huskies and the wooden sled. I really liked how the sled moved. The huskies’ fur was so soft, and it made me want to have one. I couldn’t wait until we got to pet the dogs! The wooden sled was cool, and it was very big. The dogs had silky fur, and they had a good nose. I loved them, and I want to do the Iditarod too. It was fun, and the dogs were so cute. I especially liked getting to pull the sled. Thank you, Mrs. Guertin, for letting us see your dogs!
