   " Causes of death during the last decade have included strangulation in   
   towlines, internal hemorrhaging after being gouged by a sled, liver   
   injury from collision, heart failure, and pneumonia. "Sudden death" and   
   "exertional myopathy," a condition in which a dog's muscles and organs   
   deteriorate during extreme or prolonged exercise, have also been   
   blamed."
