Racing sled dogs: Cardio fitness champs

Veterinarian and PhD physiologist Michael Davis—of Oklahoma State University's Center for Veterinary Health Sciences—has long been interested in how racing sled dogs can perform in such incredible fashion, especially during the grueling Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race.
