We lived in Yukon so we were at the other end when the Quest started. Was amazing and so mch fun being there!! So much excitement, the dogs pumped and ready to run!!

[@snickerswo1fajpw775]

I think it’s cruel. Just plain Cruel

[@Marijolas]

It should be abolished. Most dogs spend their life chained and can barely move. No contact, no freedom. It's horrible.

We should go through such tough experiences every now and then. They make us stronger and most importantly, they make us feel alive!

This was not an ideal race for Jessie. I was and I still am happy for his decisions to look after his dogs and not push them. I'm sure his dogs could have made a top 5 place if he had but he cares about them. He sacrificed prestige for the personal pride of looking out for his team. I fully respect him as a muster for this and his outward perspective on the entire lifestyle. I also thank everyone involved in capturing the experience and I can't wait to watch these particular episodes. I was so happy to see him arrive in Nome with Lance Mackey. An iditarod legend. It was an incredible moment for me, I can't imagine how Jessie and the crew felt.

Thank you - it was a great video. Seeing them get stuck in the ice made us realize how much they risk their lives.

Thanks for sharing this fantastic video message from Anchorage. We lived up there, and enjoyed this.

I remember reading an article on magazine named reader's digest and it was a story about a US dude who never did dog sled before, he got sponsored by neighbors ... and he finished the race. The scene he ate six or seven dishes of breakfast with eggs ham was cool.

[@veg9097]

How do people not think this is animal abuse? Their brains are too small to comprehend the obvious harm they inflict on this animals.

[@fivebrosstopmos]

Actually, the dogs love it, were born for it, and are treated better by their mushers than most homeless people are.

[@veg9097]

@@fivebrosstopmos that's why they often die or get injured. Thanks for proving my point buddy.

[@fivebrosstopmos]

@@veg9097 I don't understand your comment, they get injured or die because they love to run or because they're treated better than the homeless? It is not cruel to let a dog do what it loves, even when this might rarely result in harm, what is cruel is locking up a dog that's built to run and have them live a miserable life indoors.

[@veg9097]

@@fivebrosstopmos what do homeless people have anything to do with this? This isn't about the dogs, this is about stupid people trying to entertain themselves taking advantage of animals who are not capable of understanding the consequences of all this. Also, nobody is advocating to lock dogs up, this is why people take their pets out for walks or runs. Serious question, are u brain dead?

[@0oshyg0oshy86]

@@fivebrosstopmos dog sledding is fine, forcing dogs to run for 2 weeks straight with under 40 hours of rest causing over 150 dogs to die is the cruel part

Did Jesse know you were filming him throughout the race? Do you, think he knew you guys were in the Blowhole behind that window?

[@illokeee]

The Iditarod-a grueling 1,000-mile race in which dogs are forced to run to exhaustion, injury, or even death over Alaska’s unforgiving terrain-has resulted in the deaths of more than 150 dogs since its inception.

[@coopzcustomz693]

These dogs are trained for this. Don't be a problem. Chinese, Vietnamese, Koreans, Nigerians, the Swiss eat more than that every year but you're attacking 150 over 50 years for sport? Gtfo.

[@destinyurbina5109]

@@coopzcustomz693 the fact that you compare the animals death rate as a way to make the Iditarod sport seem more “pleasant” is just sad on your behalf 😬

[@coopzcustomz693]

@@destinyurbina5109 Sorry you're too woke for me.

[@FezCaliph]

Only 150? I'm surprised it's not more.

[@veganskillz]

Casualties are unfortunate but it’s an arctic race for crying out loud! You can tell they strive to impose vet checks and proper care of the animals every race.
