These unusual and unexpected perspectives on the world of mushing include the wide-eyed thrill of puppies, the bittersweet memories of a dog running his last race, the meandering thoughts of an ancient river, the hopes of a Widow’s Lamp, a Robert Service-like ode to spirits haunting a frozen stretch of sea ice, the joys of different kinds of victories, and even a rebuttal from a jealous cat.

A comedic look at the experience, pitfalls, and road blocks of online dating on various apps, and an exploration and eventual acceptance of the fact that we all have nonnegotiable deal breakers.
