May, a sweet-looking nine-year-old sled dog, has been found six days after she went missing and was presumed dead in the harsh Alaska wilderness.

May became separated from the rest of her team when her musher stopped after becoming entangled with another racer in the famed 1,049 mile Iditarod Trail Race.

When it was realized May was missing, rescuers on foot and in a plane scoured the area with no success.  Most assumed the strawberry blond canine had been killed by wolves.
