”In the sport that celebrates partnerships- of people, dogs and communities - the new cry of ‘MUSH MON’ proves the universal appeal of sled dog sports around the world.”
- The Seattle Times
From the sun-kissed beaches and tropical paradise of Jamaica comes a story of second chances. Rescued from the mean streets and animal shelters of Kingston, 12 stray dogs are trained to be the stars of Jamaica’s first dog sled racing team. The crew, spearheaded by pop superstar Jimmy Buffett, brings the unlikely meeting of a traditionally snow-bound sport to the sand and surf.
But it is not just the dogs that are given a second chance. The team’s dog mushers are given the opportunity of a lifetime as they cultivate their love of animals while receiving an education and traveling the world.
Together this motley, mutt-ley crew is winning hearts AND winning races. Mush Mon!
