Deacon "apparently collapsed" before his death.
ADN: Deacon
"Stu Nelson said 2-year-old Deacon, a dog in the team of veteran musher Seth Barnes, collapsed an eighth of a mile from the Yukon River checkpoint of Galena. Nelson said Barnes came into the checkpoint "distressed," carrying the dog's body in his sled bag."
Hang in there Seth. Damn...
Also of note in that article, it said that Seth was running a "puppy team for the Seavey's". Which makes me think he's being groomed from the multi-time Champions for a big-time Dog Sledding career (Yukon Quest/Iditarod, etc). From what I understand, he worked for the Seaveys. Which is great...other than a few other kennels (Mackey being one), there are no better in the history of the race, damn near it.
