OUR STORY

5 wks, 15 dogs, 5000 miles, 3 guys crazy enough...

Flashback 5 yrs ago, Tucson: a stray came wandering into the back yard, found a lady friend, started a family. The family kept growing until there were 20. Somewhere along the way a dream to have them race the Iditarod...

Flashforward, Present day, Alaska: The race was never raced, the family's double the size and the winters too harsh, this is where we come in. Driving them from Alaska through the lower 48, finding them good homes along the way.

WHAT TO DO?

Over 3 weeks in, 1 in Los Angeles, and 2 in Alaska, and we still have all 40 dogs. Working on an exit strategy. Called a bunch of organizations today, some helpful, some not. The stress and lack of sleep is getting to everyone. Most difficult shoot I've ever been on. Lack of comfort, all these dogs, 20 hour days of intermittent rain and having no luck finding them homes all while filming when possible is simply stressful.

I'm ready for a tropical vacation.

  1. You guys can do it! It's awesome that your all taking care of so many dogs. I don't know if you've tried but I'm up in Fairbanks and I know there are a few organizations up here. You might want to try giving some of them a call. Also contact maybe some of the local news papers if you haven't to get word out for help. Fairbanks Daily news and Anchorage Daily news.

    Good Luck! Please contact me if there is anything I can do.
