Stowe's Animal Control Officer, Elizabeth Rankin, spent two summers in Juneau, Alaska racing dog sled teams with "Alaska Heli-Mush". She currently has her own team of sled dogs and when not working at Stowe PD, she is training her team for races around New England.

The weekend of February 14/15 Elizabeth competed in the Stratford Nighthawk Race in Stratford, New Hampshire in the 15 mile four to six dog category.  She and her dogs, Flash, Ellie, Schnee, Jersey, Munchkin, and Dubs ran the 15 mile course each day and raced to first place!!
