It's pretty long, but really good. Shows just how tough some people actually are.

Today is an especially appropriate day (and month) to post this great story! Thanks.
Katherine parks the sled in a staging area, throws straw on the ground for the dogs to lie on and feeds them as Baker [her fiancé] watches from nearby. Technically, he isn't supposed to be there. It's for the mushers, their dogs and their handlers. But the on-site judge doesn't seem to mind, perhaps because the point of the rules is to stop an outsider from helping a musher and Baker isn't helping Katherine -- he's flirting with her. "I haven't been looking at the dogs," he says to Katherine. "I've been too busy looking at you."
Katherine smiles and rolls her eyes. She's heard enough. She turns to the judge and says: "Would you escort him out of here?"
