All Nine Sled Dogs Safe After Trailer Splits on Minnesota I-494

Police released dashcam video documenting the rescue, with the dogs now under brief veterinary monitoring.

Overview

  • Jack and Kris Christopher of Silent Run Adventures said their trailer hit a slick patch around 10 a.m. Saturday in Minnetonka, overturning and splitting in two.
  • Minnetonka police confirmed no human injuries and shared dashcam footage showing responders moving the huskies to safety on Interstate 494.
  • Eight dogs stayed near the wreck while one, Hoss, ran onto the highway and was kept safe by troopers and firefighters until Kris Christopher recaptured him.
  • The nine huskies were taken to a local veterinarian for evaluations, including Rebel, who rode in the back of a police cruiser, and they are being monitored for possible internal injuries.
  • The custom trailer was a total loss, and the owners launched a GoFundMe toward vet bills and a replacement, raising more than $3,000 of a $4,500 goal.
