What makes this dog special?
“Starman is priceless because of his seemingly endless energy and quick recovery time late in the race. He is one of the rare leaders that will leave a coastal checkpoint as fast as he came into the checkpoint. He is not necessarily the sharpest knife in the drawer but hey, neither is anybody who wants to run the Iditarod.”
