When Blair Braverman started posting pictures of her dog team on Twitter she had no idea the response she would get. Being a musher after all isnt just about racingraising dogs from puppyhood to retirement (and beyond) is a full-time job. She and her husband musher Quince Mountain wanted to share stories about life with their dog team. And not just the big stuff like expeditions and wild animal encounters but also the everyday the challenge of storing a thousand pounds of raw meat scouting new trails with the dogs the decisions that go into putting a team together how she trains puppies to be brave. These were goofy stories scary stories heartfelt stories stories that clearly connected with people and kept going viral. Inspired by those connections Dogs on the Trail is a chronicle of a year in the life of their dog team. Beginning in the fall as the weather starts to cool training on both dry land and in the snow then camping and racing. Spring brings mudlousy for sledding but the dogs love it. And summer is the season of puppies. The book ends on a beginning in anticipation of the adventurous lives that the new pups have in store. An irresistible adventure Dogs on the Trail will delight and entertain while taking you inside a mushers world and showing you why the wilderness isnt simply a place to visit but also a home to return to.
