Iditarod Dog Dies, Musher's Race Status Unclear

0:00Here's more Anchorage news for March 17th. A four-year-old dog named Charlie died Tuesday on Veteran Mushroom Mill Poor Siles team during the Idyterod Trail Dogs-led race. The incident happened in route to the Eileen Checkpoint, according to race officials. Poor Sild, a 53-year-old from Denmark who lives in Willow, saw her dog pass all pre-race veterinary checks. Officials planned in the Cropsy by a board-certified vet and unallocleete to determine the cause. After Idyterod Rule 42, a dog's death can force a mushroom to scratch or get pull from the race, unless it's ruled an unpreventable hazard-like. Trail dangers beyond their control. Her team reached Elim by mid-morning. Meanwhile, in last year's race, three dogs died, but in the Cropsy's couldn't pinpoint definitive causes. Animal rights groups like people for the ethical treatment of animals continue pushing to end the Idyterod over dog safety risks with recent protests. In Anchorage, officials expect to share more on Poor Sild's status soon.
