We recently reported that Aliy was interviewed by an Anchorage TV station for use in their half-hour pre-Iditarod special. Since many — probably most — of you will not be able to see it aired, we are going to post the audio in a series on the Dog Log.
The topics included cover a broad range that many of you have asked to hear about: How Aliy got started mushing dogs, about the Yukon Quest and Iditarod, and plenty more about the dogs. So, we think you’ll find it entertaining and informative.
I’m sorry that the audio is not quite up to our usual standards, but I had to place my recorder pretty much across the room. Plus, Tig the pet dog made her presence know repeatedly, as you will hear by her bone chewing, water drinking, etc. I was able to clean it up some, and I think you’ll find it acceptable.
Now… In Part 1, Aliy answers some “warm up” questions about… what else?… dogs!
