A red left fender, blue door, and yellow back panel -- along with a stovepipe exhaust pipe -- adorns a dog musher's truck in the Fred Meyer store parking lot in Fairbanks. Alaska mushers carry their athletes around in the locked boxes. The dogs' heads stick out the holes. Mushers carry straw in each box to form a nest. That's a dogsled on top of the box.
