GREAT FALLS, Mont. (AP) - A Great Falls dentist who began mushing only a few years ago finished 39th in Alaska’s Iditarod sled-dog race.
Brett Bruggeman finished the 1,000-mile race to Nome in 11 days, 20 hours and 21 minutes. Some 52 mushers had completed the course as of Saturday.
Bruggeman and his teenage son Spencer started a dog kennel about five years ago when Spencer developed an interest in sled-dog racing, and now have 40 dogs.
