Outtake: Saint Bullet

Here's a little outtake of Aliy hooking up her team for the physical therapy run. As you know, her six dogs included four heathen yearlings -- Hank, Lester, Willie and Scruggs -- loud-mouth Ranger and "Saint Bullet."

It's hard to describe Bullet. She is a shy, quiet dog who takes her time warming up to you. If she comes out of her house to greet you, it really means something. She is also probably the smartest dog in the Kennel. Her "gee haw" abilities are so strong that Aliy often refers to Bullet as her "steering wheel." Watching Bullet lead a team through a complex maze at a race start is not only inspiring, it's downright humbling. Most humans don't follow directions and instructions as well as she does!

Bullet may not be the fastest or strongest lead dog at SP Kennel, but she may be the most reliable. She will do absolutely anything that Aliy asks her to. In this case, that includes leading Aliy's 6-dog team of rowdy dogs. As you will see, Bullet suffers in silence as she keeps the heathen team lined-out before the run, and shows why she has achieved sainthood not only at SP Kennel but throughout the canine realm!
