Iditarod Madness, Doggie Style

March Madness has begun. I’m not talking about college basketball; I’m a dog after all. No, it’s the first weekend in March and that means only one thing to all pups across the world. It’s time to put the stuffed toys and tuggie ropes away and focus on the Iditarod dog sled race. The longest and most grueling dog sled event of the year has just begun and I’ve compiled some frequently asked questions and answers so you are well informed when discussing the subject at the local fire hydrant tomorrow morning.

BOMB hunting dog Treo has been awarded the animal version of the Victoria Cross — for saving Our Boys by sniffing out Taliban booby traps.
