A massive bull moose attacked the sled dog team of a rookie musher Thursday during a training run for the Iditarod race in Alaska.
The giant moose stomped on at least four of Bridgett Watkins’s dogs for over an hour, and it continued the attack after the musher fired every bullet from her gun into the animal, according to a report.
Four dogs were seriously injured and only saved when Wastkins’s friends arrived with a larger caliber firearm to kill the bull moose, she said.

“This has been the most horrific past 24 hours of my life,” she said.
The attack occurred during a 52-mile training run for the 1,000-mile Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, which begins on March 5 in Anchorage.

The injured sled dogs were rushed to a nearby veterinarian’s office and are in the recovery process, the report noted.
