Cast Saves Huskie for Sled Duty at Antarctic Stations
Stephan the Greenland Husky from Scott base suffered a broken hind leg in a dogfight. Ivan McDonald carried him through a snow storm to McMurdo Station where Dr. Hughes and Dr. Kasenchak fitted a life saving cast. The dog, weighing 165 pounds, is kept alive to continue serving U.S. scientists if he avoids further fights.
