The Way This Woman Described Each And Every One Of Her 20 Sled Dogs Is Hilariously Wholesome

ADVERTISEMENT

The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race is a legendary annual competition, testing dogs and mushers to the limit for almost 1000 miles across the Alaskan wilderness. Naturally, for such a grueling event, dogs and humans need to be in top condition and well in-tune to each other, much like any sporting team going into battle.

Blair Braverman and her pups have been training hard for this year’s race, which takes place in March. She knows her team inside out, their strengths and weakness, character and quirks. As an author with a passion for the outdoors and a flair for prose, she figured why not introduce her team to the world, and it’s one of the most wholesome things we’ve ever seen.

Each of her 20-strong crew, of which 14 will be selected for the actual race, has a unique and adorable character, and they come across as far more interesting than the platitudes and cliches you get from most human athletes. Twitter has understandably gone wild for the team, with the posts being liked and shared thousands of times. Scroll down to meet the pups for yourself below, and let us know what you think in the comments!

I don't know how many times I've said or agreed with the sentiment "We don't deserve dogs." This lady may be one of the few who actually does deserve her dogs because she, in return for their work and unconditional love, is able to give so much back to them, where many of the rest of us fall short.

I love this! Its opened my eyes - I always thought sled dogs had to be bigger fluffier dogs like Huskies or Malamutes? I didn't realize they could be these smaller guys. So cool!

Good sled dogs tend to be leggy, wiry, and tough - and the big fluff balls that people call "huskies" just aren't any of that. They've been bred to be pets. These dogs are workers. They have a job and they love it.
