2020 Humanitarian Award

Congratulations Kris Rasey!​

Kris went to extraordinary measures to rescue a dog that escaped from a visiting musher's team during a training run: setting up and monitoring remote cameras, posting signage and notices on social media, maintaining a "homing area," and patrolling trails in hopes of returning the dog to its owner. ​
