The dog widow, who wears a red necklace and is chipped, has been gone since Tuesday when a truck came so tight in a curve that Svein Erik and Gros trailer – where eight of the ten draw dogs were – were scraped up. One of the dogs was injured in the hind leg.
The accident occurred just west of Fulunäs north of Sälen, not far from the Norwegian border. Several of the dogs disappeared in connection with the accident. Everyone except Enka has been found.
– We think we have a clue how she moved in the area and that she is still here, but we do not know for sure, says Svein Erik Teslo.
Svein Erik and Gro Teslo are a drag dog driver and looked forward to the competition Vindälvsdraget where they would be part of a relay team. But these plans have been canceled – the focus is now completely focused on finding a widow.
They believe that fresh tracks have been found but are worried. Partly if someone has taken a widow or if she is hit.
– We would like to find her, says Gro Teslo.
