Julie and Caroline raced in the Apostle Islands Sled Dog Race this year and I was the official dog petter/photographer of the Buckles/Ray team (read all about it here). Talk about an expressive bunch of dogs— it was a brilliant way to spend a few hours on a beautiful winter afternoon.
This guy was resting up before the race— talk about calm, cool and collected.
Bisoux was the picture of composure (until she got her harness on).
I wish I knew this guy’s name— he stole my heart.
Pronce— striking a pose.
Holstein in a very, very rare moment of quiet contemplation.
Bisoux is one loving girl with a serious side of bad ass— don’t cross her.
Juliette, the one eyed, geriatric husky, kept up with the young-uns with a smile on her face— pure Husky bliss.

These photos are GORGEOUS, Mary!
What a beautiful collection of sled dog faces! I took a few short video clips, too….their singing and bouncing for joy are an expression of their passions…..lovely! I watched Caroline at the start on Sat. I say, “good eye, good eye”!
So fun to see these many faces of dawgs in love with life!
Your dog photos are gorgeous and it makes me want to go to the races next year!
It’s so much fun to be around all that joyous canine energy (plus, Bayfield is beautiful in the winter)!
