Iditarod 2024 Start. Who's a good boy?

We drove out to Willow for the official start of the Iditarod Sled Dog Race on Sunday. Our friends on Long Lake always throw an Iditarod start party, and we had a blast. The temperature warmed up nicely throughout the afternoon. It’s always fun to see these dogs that absolutely love to run! Way too many pictures as usual. Click on the images for full-screen and then cursor over for commentary. Woof!
