Pregnant Dog Died During This Race: Tell Hyatt That the Iditarod Kills!

UN LAB Middleware Label: Title Ends

In March 2026, a dog named Charley died after being forced to run more than 800 miles. She’s one of over 150 dogs killed by the Iditarod race!

The annual race in Alaska is a nightmare for the dogs who are forced to run while pulling a heavy sled through biting winds, blinding snowstorms, freezing temps, and icy terrain. In the past several years, a pregnant dog collapsed and died during the race, and three dogs were pushed so hard that their bodies broke down and they died on the trail. 💔

Survivors are sent back to barren yards, often with painful injuries, where most will be chained to wooden boxes or plastic barrels.

These dogs are no different from those we share our homes with. 🐕

Please use the form below to urge Hyatt to reconsider its future ties with the cruel Iditarod!

I was disappointed to learn that The Wildbirch Hotel by Hyatt is sponsoring the Iditarod and further promoting its cruelty through programming and by serving as the starting line headquarters. More than 150 dogs have died in the race, and Hyatt’s support is an endorsement of this cruelty.

Dogs forced to run in the Iditarod consistently sustain injuries and even die. A dog named Charley died after running over 800 miles in the 2026 race. In 2025, Ventana was forced to race while in a later stage of pregnancy and collapsed and died. The year prior, three young dogs died on the trail after they were pushed past their limits. Dogs used in long-distance races are commonly forced to run even when they’re injured or ill, and many of the dogs are left with lasting ailments, including misshapen hearts, stomach ulcers, persistent lung damage, and orthopedic injuries.

The suffering caused by the Iditarod is entirely preventable, but every race partner helps keep this nightmare for dogs going. Most of the Iditarod’s major sponsors, including ExxonMobil, Coca-Cola, Wells Fargo, and Alaska Airlines, have cut ties with it. Please reconsider supporting this cruel event in the future.
