LOL!!!! Swimming does not come naturally to Northern Breeds.
Have you read "The Cruelest Miles" about the dog sled relay that brought the serum to Nome? It is an incredible story, especially for anyone who loves sled dogs. There is an incredible story there about how TOGO save Seppala and the serum when the ice flow split and they were separated. I highly recommend the book: http://www.amazon.com/The-Cruelest-Miles-Against-Epidemic/dp/0393325709 Dan Matyola http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/danieljmatyola On Tue, Jul 7, 2015 at 10:58 PM, P.J.
