About the Authors Liz Parrish had three goals for running the Iditarod: train her own team, complete the Iditarod for her 50th birthday, and have fun! From a difficult start beating childhood cancer and chronic health conditions, she thrives while seeking challenges. Leaving a successful corporate career and starting with zero sled dog experience, she spent a decade building and training her own sled dog team. Liz and her team finished the 2008 Iditarod in 14 days with 14 dogs, despite being “Iditarod’s Littlest Musher.†A public speaker, an author and a leadership coach, Barb Schaefer is also a nationally and internationally respected teen development mentor. Siberian Huskies have been her passion for over 20 years. Barb and her dogs have been featured on Discovery Channel’s Animal Planet among others. She raised and trained Jasmine who played the lead dog in Disney’s Eight Below. Barb is a 10-year Iditarod volunteer, which gave her invaluable insights into the relationships between sled dogs and their mushers. Today, as co-owners of Life…Through Dogs, Liz and Barb teach people how to “Be The Lead Dog†with real-world practical applications in their own personal and corporate lives. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * “I found ‘Be The Lead Dog: 7 Life-Changing Lessons Taught By Sled Dogs’ to be one of the most cerebral pieces of writing to come out of the world of dog mushing in recent years. Authors Liz Parrish & Barbara Schaefer do a fantastic job of breaking down the various facets of sled dog behavior and applying it to numerous real world scenarios that anyone, be it beginner musher or simple dog enthusiast, can apply to their own situations. In a book loaded with solid, introspective material, one of my favorite parts is the section dealing with ‘Transparency’, where the authors carefully lay out a case for mutual honesty between dog and master. This is a firm piece of work packed with useful tips and anecdotes, which I highly recommend to dog people of all levels of experience.†Jason Barron, Professional Iditarod Musher * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * “As a former Marine, I thought I was pretty tough…that was until I was introduced to Liz & Barb!
