Leon, a dog belonging to musher Sebastien Dos Santos Borges of France, was last seen at the Ruby checkpoint of the annual dog-sledding race in Alaska on March 13, KTUU-TV reported.
“After nearly three months and almost 150 miles covered since his escape from the Ruby checkpoint, the ITC is elated to announce that Leon has been found and is safely in the custody of his owner, Sebastien Dos Santos Borges,” the Iditarod Trail Committee wrote in a Facebook post on Saturday. “A local community member in McGrath was able to catch Leon and transport him by boat back to his home.”
