Scott Janssen says Lance Mackey rescued his dog team outside of Koyuk

[@buckwheatmacgyver3673]

Man, Lance had himself one hell of a race. Tough , tough man.

[@bobbillings]

Lance Mackey is a true musher, warrior, and hero with a heart of gold that will never be duplicated in this lifetime.

[@confusionrulez1]

@brett go live life you fucking weirdo

[@Pingaheimer]

@brett wtf is ur problem pal

[@PeepersT]

@brett All heros are deeply flawed. Saints, too. Otherwise we'd call them angels.

[@neilgrinder5633]

Have to say what a wonderful transition from the world of drugs and alcohol to a man of honor and integrity

[@machinegunfunk4409]

neil grinder the two don't have to be mutually exclusive. Addicts have huge hearts and care a lot, so much that it's usually somebody betraying them or hurting them in some way for them to even begin using. I guarantee you lance was and is just as humble and good natured as he ever was.

[@GUMMYBEAYUH]

I know what you're saying and agree, but I think it's fair to point out the people I've known who've been alcoholics yet at the same time are the best human beings around.

[@tmacmc2434]

RiP to the legend 🫡 just passed today unfortunately, had to come across this

[@SandyPurchase]

Rescuing those dogs shows a beautiful and caring soul. I have read about his life struggles and wish him all the best. I hope he manages to overcome his addiction to drugs. I also read that after being disqualified from the 2020 Iditarod for testing positive for meth, he went to rehab. I wish there was a video of him arriving with those 21 dogs, that must have been spectacular to see!

[@Redracer608]

He did not want to leave his dogs (children) that saved his life.....I feel that to my core....wow

[@JuneNelson]

Lance is truly a legend. ♥️🐾

[@joannemurphy3545]

I'm in tears listening to this report. I heard about it during the race, but to see this video now. Wow to 2 great mushers and their dogs.

[@owens7647]

I'm not a Lance Mackey fan but he earned my respect for this. What a story and you can tell Mr. Janssen's dogs love him since they didn't leave him. I was happy and relieved when the reports came in that his dogs were brought in, not to mention pissed that no one else went back for them. Hats off to Mr. Mackey

[@howey935]

Only come across Lance the other day but from what I know of him he has my utmost respect

[@benhortonben9105]

true spirit between mushers - incredible men :-)

[@torreygibb5653]

What an awesome guy lance is , he cares more about his dogs and the well being of others than himself , I hope he beats cancer snd the struggles he faced and from all the interviews I’ve watched he is a very humble man that loves his animals and people 🙏🙏🙏 god bless him for caring about this man like a brother and making sure he was ok ✝️✝️

[@deadnorth8333]

Lance finished 21 in 2020 Iditarod but was disqualified for failing a urine test for methamphetamine so sad

[@Ed30675]

Sadly Lance yesterday lost his battle with cancer... But you probably have already heard this sad news...

[@DriveforDiabetesAwareness]

Amazing story. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@montanaflytyer]

Lance is a legend! !!

[@jasonhutchins9239]

This just made me cry haha amazing animals and amazing people

[@bradr2142]

Wow what a story. For the love of those dogs.

[@DivineMizE]

Lance, what a guy. ♥️

[@bonnienanab956]

Moral of the story is all you hear is the negativity that Lance Mackey has went thru, and negativity about his dogs. but that man has a heart of gold for those who are close to him and his passion for the dogs. No one knows unless they experience it what pain does, how ornery it makes you how much you do about anything for relief, including drugs and alcohol. and sometimes even turn mean on those you love. I believe Lance Mackey is one of the bravest , and whole hearted guys around. amen and kudos to you :)

[@theartofselfanalysis7600]

Wow, what a harrowing story of survival and a fantastic effort from Lance, so glad you all got through to live to tell the story, true toughness and spirit, tears in my eyes right now. All the best to you all.

[@MadscorpionKing]

Lance is a great man !

[@motley331]

I wish I knew guys like this. People who care about each other.

[@paulvest3157]

What a story!

[@Anna_Stetik]

You did a FANTASTIC job with the videos of this race. I've long loved the Iditarod, (it's Jack London's fault), but never got to see the humanitarian part of it. Between your videos, and Dude Like Hella, it was a wonderful experience for those of us who don't live up there. Also, thank you so much for letting him tell his story uninterrupted. I wish reporters in the lower 48 would learn that it's much preferred. Thank you, so much, for sharing with us.

[@travis1190]

Such a cool story! i love this stuff.

[@mikehawk8276]

Hell yeah man what a beast riding in with two teams crazy

[@sarahg6248]

So its true the rescuers lied to Lance. They should have went back to get the dogs, thank God Lance Mackey rescued them.

[@22chickenhead]

@Captain BP&J source ?

[@fabidami]

@@22chickenhead he watched this video, kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2bQk3-bZZd8jMk If you scroll down to some comment he also commented on there about another video.

[@fabidami]

@Captain BP&J lol lance told you himself when the exact quote comes from a radio station that he was interviewed at. Also you commented on someone else’s comment on that same video.

[@stephen9944]

Lance sounds like an extremely selfless person

[@Prestonesfpv]

Setting all things aside in such a situation says a lot about a mans character

[@bonnienanab956]

incredible story that inacted a classical of "pay it forward, Scott Janssen was helped in a bad situation in 2015, and he turned it around to help Jim in 2018. if that's not PAY IT FORWARD I DONT KNOW WHAT IS...

[@alexmangogna1855]

What happened in 2018?

[@andreranch6161]

On god im crying

[@joannemercader9346]

EXCELLENT

[@rollaroyce747]

Big up Lance

[@foreverendeavor7383]

How does anyone dislike this story? Do you have no soul?

[@PeepersT]

I'm guessing because they left the dogs. It's a brutal story any way you look at it.

[@ashultz0102]

Except when the team was found the tracking devices from the dogs were all removed. I think there is more to this story than we know.

[@coryhobbs5386]

These guys are a rare breed.makes me proud to be ALASKAN

[@jmichaelewan8455]

3 dislikes are cat people

[@Pluto-vn8tw]

They left the dogs in the cold to die. They didn’t go back for the dogs!

[@Resistculturaldecline]

Not condoning leaving the dogs, but their priority is the musher first. The dogs can survive those temps, and stayed because their guy was there.

[@PeepersT]

? He said that Lance found his dogs and brought them to the checkpoint.

[@BuffaloBack]

Acting like dogs aren't accessories... ever been to a res..

[@user-pe5vz5qw8e]

i only disliked because i feel as though it dosent have enough views

[@simonyadig]

That is counterproductive.

[@photomanic8195]

that made no sense

[@williamhoward77wh]

Don't do that

[@conversationswithsax9874]

It’s Kind Of Crazy Because Cutie Pie Is now My dog in 2020

[@conversationswithsax9874]

She never comes to her name though?
