No doubt about it, Fairbanks is a community of mushers, dog racing enthusiasts and all-around dog lovers. With the start of the Yukon Quest International Sled Dog Race on Feb. 10, the timing is right for a lecture about the science behind sled dog racing. Veterinarians Margaret Eastman and Denali Lovely will present on the physiology of sled dogs and their experiences working on one of the most challenging sled dog races in the world.
