Report on Zorro - sled dog injured by snow machine

Zorro is reported to have 3 broken ribs and an injury to his spinal cord. At the time I am writing this reports are that Zorro can not feel his back legs, but doctors are still hopeful that it is because of swelling and not more permanent damage to the spinal cord.

Josh at the All Alaska Sweepstakes Blog has more details and will hopefully be keeping us all updated on how Zorro is doing.

Best wishes go out to Lance Mackey and heartfelt hope that Zorro recovers fully.

There has got to be something done to keep motorized vehicles off of the trail. While for me there is not much of a difference that it was a dog instead of a human that was injured, had Lance not made the decision that he did in bailing off his sled we could very easily all be watching reports on him at Providence Hospital or somewhere with serious spinal injuries that might keep him from ever walking again.

Let's not have it come to that. Keep motorized vehicles off the trails when the races are being run.
