Porfirio Diaz was born on the 15th of September 1830 at Soledad Inn, Oaxaca. His father Faustino Diaz died when he was three years old. Ever since his first years of life, Porfirio Diaz got accustomed to living at the inn with the traveling soldiers and all classes of merchants, peddlers. Almost four years after his fatherâs death, the family had to sell the inn.
The 2010 and 2011 Iditarods were notable because no dogs died during these races. The Sled Dog Action Coalition reports that at least 142 dogs have died in the Iditarod in recent years. Deaths are the norm, and not just in the Iditarod. In just one week this year, four dogs died in three races, the Anchorage Daily news reported. Two of them died of pulmonary edema. Running a marathon can cause the same condition in people, suggesting that it may well have been the race that killed the dogs.
In almost all of the Iditarod races, at least one dog death has occurred. The first race is reported to have resulted in the deaths of 15 to 19 dogs. In 1997, the Anchorage Daily News reported that âat least 107 (dogs) have died.â In the years since that report, 39 more dogs have died in the Iditarod, bringing the grand total of dogs who have died in the Iditarod to at least 146.
