	Kuskokwim 300 Sled Dog Race
		Martin Buser's second-place finish in the Kuskokwim 300 Sled Dog Race was marred by tragedy Friday night when one of his dogs collapsed and died on the trail outside of Tuluksak.
		After Buser had delivered the dog to race officials in Tuluksak, a pair of race veterinarians immediately performed a necropsy examination and concluded the cause of death was a ruptured liver abscess — a condition not unheard of in dogs that normally results in death.
		Buser said the dog, which was a playful, labor-intensive animal, had not been acting differently prior to the race.
