Vic DiSanto and the joys of raising sled dogs — Feb. 14, 2019

Vic DiSanto lay in a hospital bed with a painful back injury when he received a visit from a therapy dog, which lifted his spirits. He decided to adopt a dog from the Mohawk Hudson Humane Society. When DiSanto worked as overseer of the John Brown Farm Historic Site in the Adirondacks, he took a ride on Mirror Lake with John Houghton’s Thunder Mountain dog sled team and now is a musher himself. He tells of the history and joys of sled-pulling dogs in this week’s podcast with Mountie, one of his Siberian huskies, trained to pull a sled. Hosted on Acast.
