In the book Woodsong how do the mushers care for the feet of the dogs?
In the book Gary Paulsen uses the dog booties that it explains earlier in the book. If you research the Iditarod (especially the dogs) you will find more about this..... Trust me, I know! I'm reading it in school and working on a project!
How are dogs trained to find people when they are lost?
Scent dogs are trained to track a particular scent they are given by their handlers. You start with training dogs to follow one scent and find a hidden treat, such as a toy or food reward. Over time, you make the trail longer and harder to follow.

What do mushers and sled dogs eat?
Having raised Siberian Huskies, their are two answers here. First, like humans, it can depend on where they are raised. Regional human foods can be fed them (if you choose healthy ones for dogs - check with your vet) as well as standard dog foods. Second, if actually working the dogs, small portions multiple times per day of a high protein, moderate carbohydrate dry food is preferred for energy and stamina. The smaller portions keep the animal satisfied, but doesn't make it uncomfortable (remember last Thanksgiving?) so that it can concentrate on work. If the work involves long hauls without places to resupply, dry food is better due to weight considerations. Many sled dogs will eat raw or cooked fish caught on the trail, but like us humans, some will turn up their noses at foods they don't like; as with any dog you will have to find out the likes and dislikes of each particular dog.

How is the official finish of the Iditarod determined?
If you mean the official WINNER: The winner is the team whose lead dog's nose crosses the line first. (This is only true if the musher is carrying all their required equipment in the sled.) If you mean when is the race officially OVER, it's over when the "Widow's Lamp" is turned off. The Widow's Lamp is lit and hung on the Burled Arches (which stand above the finish line in Nome) when the race begins. That lamp remains lit as long as there are mushers on the trail. This goes back to an old tradition of leaving a lamp lit at way-posts along the old dog-mushing thoroughfares. Word would be sent ahead that a team was travelling, and the next way-post would light the lantern and keep it lit as long as there were dogs and mushers out on the trail. This was in part to help the incoming musher find his way - but it was also to remind everyone that there were dogs and mushers out there, driving through the snow and cold and dark, and that everyone should keep a watch until they were safe. The Widow's Lamp remained lit until the team made it in to the way-post, and the Iditarod keeps this tradition, leaving the lamp burning until the very last musher makes it to Nome. The Widow's Lamp isn't turned off - and the race isn't over - until the last musher is safe into Nome.
