" Causes of death during the last decade have included strangulation in
towlines, internal hemorrhaging after being gouged by a sled, liver
injury from collision, heart failure, and pneumonia. "Sudden death" and
"exertional myopathy," a condition in which a dog's muscles and organs
deteriorate during extreme or prolonged exercise, have also been
blamed."
