Photo by Dr. Eric RogersStartled by the camera flash, Mocha rests at Ophir, next to Picard, during Iditarod 2006.
Mocha must be a very special girl! Why else would she be wearing a customized racing coat, in Alaska state colors, with her name on it?
As you may have guessed, Mocha is not really my dog but I love her as if she were. She is a member of an elite Iditarod sled dog team owned by Dr. Eric Rogers of Eagle River, Alaska. I have the honor and pleasure of being her sponsor, which means that I have vicariously “adopted” her as my own. She was only 18 months old this past March when she completed her rookie Iditarod, along with her real “daddy”, Eric, the oldest human rookie in the 2006 race.
