Our Iditarod Dog of the Day: Meet Moose, who's leading the charge to the next snack break.
KattiJo Deeter pets her sled dog Moose at the Iditarod ceremonial start in Anchorage on Saturday.
“In Moose’s mind, he’s worried that there’s always going to be food available and that if anyone gets there before he does that he’s not going to get the food,” said Deeter. “And I think he really wants to get there first in case there is a snack waiting for him.” “He eats, he is happy, and he was the dog who took me into Nome after the storm last year,” she said. “In hard times on the trail I’m going to really lean on him as my leader and my heart dog out there.”
Deeter said Moose’s ability to stay on good terms with the whole team is a major part of what he brings to his position in lead.
