Iditarod officials said a snowmachine attack on two top Iditarod teams has left one dog dead and several injured.

Two Rivers musher Aliy Zirkle and Denali Park’s Jeff King reported a snowmachiner repeatedly attempted to harm their dog teams as they traveled to the Yukon River checkpoint of Nulato early Saturday morning. King’s team was struck, according to a press release from the Iditarod Trail Committee, resulting in the death of 3-year-old Nash and non-life threatening injuries to two others: 2-year-old Banjo and 3-year-old Crosby. A dog in Zirkle’s team also received a non-life threatening injury. The dog was not named in the release.

Pretty sure there will be people working to blame this on Donald Trump though.

I got to tour King’s dog facility once in July.

Those dogs are trained year-round for this race. Special food formulated just for the race conditions.

Meanwhile the Dog Whisperer is accused of animal cruelty because some little twerp dog nipped a pig’s ear.

Will this ‘drunk’ get appropriate punishment?

Todd Palin races in the Irondog, not the Iditarod.

First it’s evil SUVs now Snowmachines.

When will we learn and stop building these evil machines?

OH, the Huge Manatees.

Who was lined up against Trump in Chicago? I saw Mexican flags, Islamic flags, USSR flags, I saw members of BLM and OWS and CPUSA, I even saw Bill Ayers making an appearance, and I saw Obama, Clinton, Cruz, Rubio, and Kasich all standing shoulder to shoulder with the mob blaming Trump for their behavior.
Over the years I’ve learned the best way to learn the true character is to see how they treat subordinates (doormen, waiters, etc.). In the future I’m also going to see who he counts as his enimies and who his enemies count on as their allies...

No, the title should probably be, "One dog dead, several injured after drunken Indian attack on Iditarod Trail

I think you are posting on the wrong thread. And you did it twice.
