"Cold Hands Warm Heart" |
Champion musher Jeff King is a man who lives by those words. When King crossed the finish line of the 2006 Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, he entered a small, elite club of mushers who’ve won the 1,000-mile race four times. And yet his record of victories in dozens of short- and middle-distance races, as well as conquering the challenging Yukon Quest International Sled Dog Race, placed King in a society of one: the ‘winningest’ musher in sled-dog sports history. From his scientific methods of feeding and training dogs to his calculating trail strategies and innovative sled designs, King has been the one to watch, year after year.
A natural-born storyteller as well as a gifted athlete, King shares a lifetime of adventure stories in these pages. Since the release of his first collection of trail stories, fans have been begging for “More!” And in this newly expanded second edition, they’re finally getting their wish – and a deeper look into a life well-live.

| "Patsy Ann" |
Patsy Ann was a bull terrier who truly embodied the Alaskan spirit. In the 1930s, Patsy Ann was brought to Alaska as a puppy to be a pet, but she had other plans for herself. Instead of being coddled indoors or tethered in the yard, she wanted to explore the bustling town full of totem poles, salmon, and fascinating people. Even though she was deaf, Patsy Ann would run to the docks to meet incoming ships-eventually becoming the town's official greeter. In that way, she went from nobody's dog to everybody's dog.
