The Spirit of Dog Driving

There's a spirit about driving a dog team... raw and powerful. Dogs are meant to travel, it runs in their blood, you can see the yearning in their eyes. On the trail one can feel this power, eminating from their bodies like a healthy radiation. Legs running fluidly in motion, tugging at the harness, knowing in their hearts 'this is what I want from life'. This blog is dedicated to capturing the beauty of dog driving through art.

Brent Sass and the Wild and Free team are the 2015 Yukon Quest champions.

Amazing race. Brent’s words while passing Allen Moore on the trail to move into first….”this is fun, isn’t it!”
