Running with Champions: A Midlife Journey on the Iditarod Trail follows the quick progression of Lisa Frederic from innocent tourist - to volunteer - to musher - in the Iditarod Sled Dog Race. It also follows several puppies who grew up to become key members of the winning 2006 Iditarod champion team! Salem received the coveted Golden Harness Award for his outstanding performance in Jeff King's team

Lisa Frederic has assembled a fun little package with a dog bootie and bookmark, plus the autographs of both the author and Salem! (convincing him to put his inked pawprint on every copy wasn't always easy!) But he loves being a famous lead dog!
