On a Fairbanks, Alaska shore excursion, Mary Shields shares the experience of the thing she loves most: her team of big waggly huskies.
Our small group was able to get up close and personal with the dogs, while Mary informed us about the husky breed and about some of her training techniques.
Mary was the first woman to finish the 1,049 mile Iditarod Sled Dog Race. In international racing, she and her team ran in the Yukon Quest and the Hope Race from Alaska to Siberia.
