Meg loves to kiss, said musher Mats Pettersson.
“She’s a cheerleader,” he said. “She cheers up everybody and she’s happy and wants to kiss everybody.”
Pettersson said not everybody wants a kiss from Meg, but he doesn’t mind.
Meg is six years old. She’s from a “Top Gun” litter, named after Meg Ryan who plays Carole Bradshaw.
Pettersson and Meg had quite the journey to get the Iditarod starting line — they flew in from Sweden.
But Pettersson is used to it. This is his eighth Iditarod and Meg’s second. He said Meg “is a great flier.”
Meg is part of our “Dog of the Day” Iditarod series. Previously we met Paul, Ralph, Mussel and Junior.
