Who's a good dog, huh? Is Leon a good dog?

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — An Iditarod sled dog missing for nearly three months after disappearing from the race has been found safe, the Iditarod Trail Committee said Saturday.

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.”

    "since his escape"?? sounds like the dog was abused and sought freedom

      Nah, that just shows whoever wrote the article is a dog owner. Any time any of my dogs got out, I referred to it as their escape.

    McGrath is a helluva long way from Ruby. There’s nothing in between but tundra, moose, black & grizzly bears. Plus, we had a pretty heavy snowfall this year ( I still have snow in some shady spots in my yard). Pup had to be pretty thin when they found him.
