Notes from Joe
This is one of my favorite photos taken last winter. The picture itself describes the pure love for pulling that’s ingrained in Alaskan Malamutes. These guys, Farmer, Bear and Boss, are leaders of a 21-dog team pulling a 2,500 lb. load of supplies in Alaska’s arctic. Angus Mill captured these three photos on his second 21 day expedition with me and the team.
Four year old leader – Farmer. What a look of wisdom and dignity! Farmer has lived up to his name quite well. When he was younger he seemed to always find dirt to roll around in and looked like he had just plowed a dusty farm field. Now, Farmer is one of the hardest workers in the team. 
This is another fantastic shot – 21 Mals, three sleds in tow with over 2,000 lbs. of supplies, anticipating the command to go.

Awesome photos of beautiful dogs – makes me want to go to Alaska! Oh, coming to think of it: I already live in the Arctic and we’re heading towards winter here too… Lucky me 
So glad I too have a winter dog now. You inspire already!

These are all great photos. To me the second photo is pleasing most of all.
Happy weekend.
