A 4-year-old dog in the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race collapsed and died Sunday morning, according to race officials. It is the second dog death of the 2024 race. The dog, named George , was on musher Hunter Keefe’s team. The dog collapsed around 10 a.m., about 35 miles outside of Kaltag — roughly 660 miles into the nearly 1,000-mile race.
If a dog dies, the musher must voluntarily scratch from the race or they will be withdrawn unless the dog died due to an “unpreventable hazard” like a moose encounter. Keefe was racing in his second Iditarod with Raymie Redington’s dog team. Redington’s father helped found the Iditarod and one of his sons, Ryan. Keefe had said George was part of a dog litter named after the Beatles. He said George had a lot of energy and barked nonstop. The Iditarod had also reported Sunday that 2-year-old Bog on Isaac Teaford’s team collapsed and died around 9:45 a.m. at the Galena checkpoint
