Years and years of bios' and pictures and stories of continuously most excellent dogs like Quito ; highest # of dogs into top finishes deserves all the attention and respect to Aliy and Allen as representatives not only of the sport but how humans can honor their animal-friends.

Now we must watch mushers driving their dogs past their endurance just to win a race. What would be the fate of these dropped dogs in real life mushing but for the race volunteers and the Iditarod Airforce to get them home to safety? <br /><br />I hope the Alaskan people, communities and politicians can reorient the Iditarod to something that will reestablish its linkages to Alaskan history and remove it from the ethos of a stock car race.<br /><br />My suggestion: Grant every musher 3 dropped dogs. Every additional dog dropped anywhere along the race route will result in adding 4 hours to the mandatory stop at White Mountain. <br /><br />The tally of dropped dogs would not count any dogs hit by snow machines or injured by encounters with moose or other wildlife.<br /><br />The Red Team is the only team of those out of White Mountain at this time who would NOT have their mandatory rest extended to reflect carnage of their dogs. Nicholas Pettit at number 8 and all the way down to the Black Team at number 34 are the only mushers in the race with 14 dogs at this time; there are only a handful of mushers in the top fifty who have not already started earning the 4 hour penalty.<br /><br />SP Kennel shows the world how to run the Iditarod.
