Part 1: Musher Mike Santos - Dog Handling

)

The 2014 Iditarod will easily go down in the books as one of the most memorable. From snow-starved trails to lightning-fast runs, conditions were treacherous for this years field, nearly a third of which have been forced to scratch. Mike Santos is among the many who called it quits in Rohn after a particularly rough stretch after Rainy Pass.

But, for Santos, it's not about the race, it's all about the dogs.

Special thanks to Frontier Scientists.
