In January 2015, photographer Diana Zalucky spent a week with Crazy Dog Kennel, a competitive racing kennel dedicated to the training and rehabilitation of unwanted sled dogs. These images cover her time at the kennel prior to the race and the 4 days she spent with veteran musher, John Schandelmeir. She was both shooting and helping as a dog handler during the Copper Basin 300, the toughest 300 mile race in Alaska.
