I live in South Africa and have never been to Alaska but my perception based on what I have seen on TV and what I have read is that anyone traveling in the Alaska wilderness should be carrying at very least a 10mm or 357 Magnum handgun .

I have to admit I'm surprised she didn't pack something more approriate. She's from Alaska and moose are definitely a concern for mushers. She just learned a lesson the hard way.

Still, I hope she's able to get the team going and into the race. I guess I'll see in a few weeks when I hang out with friends at the ceremonial starts downtown.

My sister raised Pekingese. One family, who bought a dog from her, once went to the forest for mushrooms. The dog was left in the car. Moose were walking by, the dog was probably barking at them. The moose hoofed the car without missing a single body part.
