Jogger, dog attacked by moose along Jackson running trail

A dog has suffered serious injuries after the mutt and its owner were attacked by three moose on a trail in Jackson.

The Jackson Hole News & Guide reports that Brad Walsh says he and his dog Memphis startled two cow moose while jogging on Saturday.

Walsh was able to put distance between himself and the animals, but Memphis was not so lucky. The dog suffered a traumatic brain injury and damage to her internal organs after a bull moose stomped on her. The dog received 80 sutures and numerous staples on her forehead, legs and abdomen.

Walsh says he won’t be running on that trail again now that snow has pushed larger animals down toward Cache Creek.
