In this episode I invite you to come with me to Rancho Luna Lobos, a dog rescue and rehabilitation center/professional dogsled racing kennel that also offers educational dogsled tours in Park City, Utah. Join me as I meet Fernando and his wife, Dana, who founded and run the organization, and Amanda, one of their mushers who takes me and a few other adventure-seekers on a tour of the ranch behind a team of dogs. You'll meet 70+ dogs who have been given a second chance at life after not finding themselves to be suitable pets, and in danger of being homeless or put down, and chances are good that you'll learn a lot – just like I did – about dogsled racing.
