A 7-year-old male named ‘Zaster’ in the team of musher #87, John Stetson, died at 0120 this morning. Zaster was dropped at Ophir at 0200 on Friday and had been transported to Anchorage where he was being treated for signs of pneumonia.
A necropsy will be conducted by a board certified pathologist to make every attempt to determine the cause of death.
[mod hat] I moved this thread to fly a little under the radar of race detractors. The loss is very sad...ThisSpaceForRent[/mod hat]

Reason: trying to fly under radar...yes, it is sad, John, we need a Dogs forum or at least an off topic forum...
