It really is all about the dogs. You have to love them to do it, because, like most working dogs, not all of their habits are endearing. Often you will have to leave behind the one dog who can inspire the others. It may not be one of the lead dogs, but is the dog that convinces the rest of the team that the effort is worth it.

I would think it would be something very serious with the dogs for him to scratch this late in the game.

Looked around the web and finally found this article. Like you mentioned in an earlier post, apparently the dogs just weren’t having fun anymore, and the human was getting depressed, too. Stewart felt like he was forcing them.
