Ever since I moved up to Alaska people have been telling me the exact same thing: “You need to get a sled dog!”

Well, I’ve got to say, it’s been a year coming, but it’s finally happened! Today, Thunder, from Bruce Linton’s kennel arrived on Cessna a 207. Thunder is an 8 year old, and due to the generally long lifespans of sled dogs, we expect to have him another 8-10 years.

Enough talk though, here’s some pictures.
