of the, the 100 of his living, the dream. in his winter wonderland in sweden's lapland. he owns a husky farm with 50 dogs. the select dog handler, known as a most sure, has lived here for 5 years. he's made lapland is home, along with his partner custin fuller than love of dogs. roll them here. then he asked me to shoot me when you 1st get the sled dog bug. it's very hard to

stop. guns watching with sled dogs is a bit more than just owning dogs. i trust the dogs to me and the dog trusts me you off when tom you see this co operation best in difficult situations in my mind by that always. you don't forget to if i move in feelings towards the ones to moment when you've been in a snow storm, a few times. well being pushed to the limit with loss and your dogs bring you home . you know how it was because they trust you and you give the responsibility to the dog so on, hold on, please, and i'll give them sorry, much potentials. and this is also a fun other than it does not come to this much boss. andreas intestine have been together since 1996. 2 years ago. that relationship was putting that test. in late summer 2017. they decided to take home and it takes the challenge. no way

is big enough, it slept the grace. the northern most race in the world. it meant lots of work for the past to come from northern germany. toyota. so when i used to do this for the children for repairing things and sewing, now i do it for the dogs. i would have never dreamt of doing that before the 10 weeks before the race. the 1st snow has fallen for andreas. that means the thoughts of the tourist season for which i'm on a 100 percent. it will feel a little weird at 1st. you think it's stable but it moves a bit on this, but it's okay. you get used to it based on the different and various ends of living by offering tours rides. that means training for the

race is not always possible. but monday i'm going to in hudson phone when you want to rice, there was a clash between training and such a big event and offering tours because we want to do both day and we want our guests to be happy, but we're not to the author suggest it to feed sometimes he has to train in darkness. well, also doing to is andreas wants to do 3500 kilometers of training before the race. a very well and counts training is going well until 5 weeks before the race been cast and decides she is too stressed and busy at home to take part young guns, old fashion. we have a young couple who can help instead, because we have a 1000 percent facing them as a but the guy doesn't know if he's free to come. if the girlfriend she comes alone,

then i think it is easier if she goes with andrea's. i would love to, but it's fine if it works out with trend. see 20 except somebody and then we'll still have a vet. so that's okay. i think it is something you would never forget. you've got to my hosting. is there a place similar to this need to have that so? what can i say? so the a few days before the race, friends see arrives alone upon know couldn't come the past and wants to stay home to help the workers on the farm front seat will support andreas in the race or will make the best of it. and i think the frenzy is tough enough and is

slow. i reckon she can keep her food better than me. i am always a bit too of excited to see when the time comes. andreas and cursed and obtain for over the years and of sacrifice the lot. now andreas will have to face the challenge with outcast and have fun. the $45.00 participants from 5 countries or at the start. so the give a little bit dreyer's face is a 350 kilometer trick. over the next few days, the most you and his dogs will head into norway optic circle for the 1st leg. ice cold winds and temperatures as low as 40 degrees below celsius will push them to their limits.

the regular breaks will be necessary. the physical strain is enormous and the dogs need to recover. ok. mental concentration is also crucial for both man and dog. after 5 and a half hours, andreas and his dogs reached the 1st check point in that, so they've managed around 70 kilometers. ok, the fun too much fun to us. it was quite a relaxed 1st leg. the dogs found the rhythm officer about 20 kilometers one or 2. of course it wasn't easy to click of a light down now and have a rest,

the quicker we can recover the rest of us. and then we'll see the brakes are just as important in the race as the long runs to the to sleep for the dogs and the most . you can have dramatic consequences the while andreas itself, again up to 4 hours, rest of us, let the races of taking the 1st injured dogs out of the event. andrea says no such problems. on the 2nd leg, he makes some real progress. he's not in check point of always and now the dogs flew out of the check pointed to push themselves more than before and got enough. we had 70 tough kilometers before at the moment and things that clicking into place . but we're not even in the hot flight point when he might side on the next leg, things continue to go smoothly. the

partnership with frenzy is working well. when he wrists, she takes care of the dogs. but the race has left him small con, dress. it is now the foot day, and he is only really set for 3 hours in total. the journey through the darkness has become a real test. it's important because now we've got to another 105 kilometers. when i met my friends, we can go high. if the whole is the finish line is drawing as a nearer but the stay at a check point is far longer than expected. the,

for general doctors because it shouldn't happen. but it's one of those things i'm kind of just confused. i got the feeling that a new car was just too tired. and i went to speak to the vets and they confirmed it, and the dog must be pulled out at the race. you have to give the dog to your specific handler. then only then can you leave the tech point to point us to a lesson definitely, to show up in the book heads off on the book unless he had a 5 in office. what else? the and we've been standing around here for 6 hours. that is 6 hours in the darkness. andrea's had been trying to contact francy without success. the rules say only fancy can take the exhausted dog.

such a short cut. um, i've made a big mistake and i'm paying for it when i was asleep and i put my phone on silent just out of habit. i thought it was really bad. that happened before i had a missed is due to the last time the torch. batteries are running low as well as the phone battery, after all those calls. carrying on now is not possible. 100 kilometers from the end, and andreas, his dream is completing the race. he's over. as far as the said, i know he was extremely unhappy. he put so much work and money into it. i mean, we could have had tourists here for those 2 weeks. he's well aware of that themselves. but i know, and he knows that i was told of the back him again in the future. i think it was clear the very next day that he wanted to try it again from fist so, so that's why most. 1 2 years later and then dress is planning to race again. with

a new team, he is hopeful things to his to lead dogs. andreas has a special relationship with clara and didn't already. we do lie to him to good lead dogs often very sensitive and very intelligent and listen, they have to find the trail in all weathers and to deal with the pressure and have solid endurance of individuals. i was hoping to know if there are an 8 to 10 dogs behind who a rushing too much then it is mentally tiring. so the dog sounds thing, but not every dog does that. dogs like you know, rio clara are a pleasure to work with you. you're not here to be classified as is of shown. and the reason to saying he was like when all waiting to do the dogs like clara on the night of the extended arm of the motion and the most important animals on the team . we have 2 minutes interval gotten right to do i have the experience in the past that the goals are really tough when it gets in difficult situation. 7 feet of

a guys woodcock to buy there is nothing to complain about. but when it comes to the real thing, then it's often these seemingly normal female dogs who put their heads down and go through a blizzard ones, and you stand back and sing, how is that possible? but they just do it like a pod garvey. so what i'll do mountain side, the address is dream of completing a long distance flood race lives on the even once front see a decide again. next time the can you hear a night we are all set. i'm gonna want to increase the. 7 team to ring of the story behind the news. we all about unbiased information, feel free mind. so do too many done.

so you don't think and feel the same way you expect and more different things from life than your parents. i just want to pursue what that's my thoughts fired or you think your kid is 2 different, risky, irresponsible, reasonable stop in port in those nonsense? i want my son to become a dr. joe in the cloud. it's time to, to get from your generation with a sleep asked and then when generations flash starts, january 14th on dw is kind of fun. it feels like therapy the
