As he turns four years old. Inferno has finally started to settle down and has become one of the constants in the team. Inferno came from Brenda Mackey in Alaska, traveling as a 7 month old pup and was such a blur of fuzzy movement that his transporters couldn’t snap a photo of him for me. He is very intelligent and attentive and curious, and emerged from the yearling pack as the 'best all round' for his understanding of routines and the seriousness with which he approached his job.

In the team in general, Inferno is a tough happy and serious constant, finishing every race he starts and growing stronger along the way. His discipline, trainability, and flawlessly light on his feet trot makes him one of my favorite dogs. Inferno, also, is the only dog that loves to swim like a fish and actively seeks out rivers and ponds to swim in during summer hikes. (Photo by Lauren Dobish Photography)

Inferno is one of the ‘fire’ litter, born in the year of significant fires in Alaska. His siblings Fire, Flame and Arson are also here in New England with Ashley Simpson and Nate Gratton.
