G.B. Jones’ lost dog found in Rohn

Iditarod fans may remember a sad story from the Rohn checkpoint back on March 9th. That’s when G.B. Jones both scratched from the race and reported that one of his dogs had slipped from its harness and escaped into the wilderness between Rainy Pass, Ptarmigan Pass and Rohn.

Well that sad story has turned happy. The lost dog, named “Aafes,” turned up in Rohn a few days ago. She has since been airlifted to Anchorage and will soon rejoin Jones at his home in Knik, Alaska.

In describing this turn of events on his web site, Jones summed up by thanking everyone for their support:

My heartfelt thanks to the many good people who have expressed their concern and given their prayers to the finding of this great dog!Â
