Transportation by Paw
7/16/2025 | 1m 14s
Not all transportation has wheels. Sometimes it has paws.
Before planes and highways, Alaska relied on sled dogs. The Iditarod honors the 1925 serum run to Nome, showing how transportation—and heroism—comes in many forms. Today, the sled dog tradition is still alive, and it's a career for those who love the snow and the sled.
