Liza Dietzen has dreamt of competing as a dog sledder since learning about the Iditarod in kindergarten. Ever since, she’s dedicated the majority of her life to raising and caring for her sled dog team, fostering a deep bond built on mutual trust. In her words, \u201cTo see 12 to 16 different personalities [of the sled team] all coming together, and you\u2019re a part of that, it\u2019s hard to put into words exactly what it means to you\u2026it\u2019s magical.\u201d<\/p>\n
