On Your Mark, Get Set ? Whoa. At the 23rd annual Paw ?n? Pole cross-country ski event Sunday in Sun Valley, an animal shelter fundraiser, Doran Key and her dog, Buddy, got off to a somewhat slow start. The timer counted down, and Key was ready to go, but Buddy was not done sniffing other dogs. They recovered nicely for a fourth-place finish in the Open Long Course division. Photo by Willy Cook
