Shawna's Reviews > The Cruelest Miles: The Heroic Story of Dogs and Men in a Race Against an Epidemic

This is the craziest book ever! Tales of how mail delivery, flight and planes worked in the 1920’s. How mushers and their dogs were so outrageously bonded to each other (even through life and death situations). What exactly diphtheria is and how it attacks someone’s body. Hilarious stories about how if someone badmouthed another’s dog sled team, “them’s were fighting words”. And I laughed so hard I cried when I read the part about the lawyer who represented his lead dog and argued that it was self defense when his dog attacked and killed a sheep. 😂

This is the best book I’ve read in a long, long time! 😍
