There are many great dogs that have been left behind and we want to give special thanks to the sponsors and fans of those dogs who haven't made the final cut. Your dog has made a huge contribution all season and without him or her the others wouldn't be able to do the things they do. They've been there on training runs, they've been the core of the "short-run" team (the team that runs shorter mileages so dogs coming back from injury can slot in to a team) or they pushed hard for a spot on the starting squad.

We realise you might be disappointed your dog isn't heading to Nome this time but they are just as valued and special as the 32 on the trail and they are superstars too, they just might not get as much press! Wes, Wendy and Ryne will be looking after them back home at the kennel and they will be very well cared for!
