The dog is slightly curled with its left foreleg curled over the right. The hind legs are close together. The fur and skin has worn of one side, probably as a result of being scoured by wind-borne ice particles over a long period of time. The bones are exposed and sun-bleached. The fur has been worn off most of the body, except for the pads of the feet, the head of the penis, the superior portion of the left hind leg and a small area of the pelvic region. The fur that remains is a light honey colour. Only two paws remain. The right hind paw was separated from the rest of the body post-mortem and was found about 20 metres in front of the dog (Grant pers. comm) and was brought down separately from the plateau. The left front paw is still attached to the rest of the dog. The fat pads, fur between the pads and the claws are intact. The skin and ligaments survive on the head around the eyes, the nose, the maxilla and the mandible. The remains of what appear to be the eyes were observed in the sockets. There was no evidence of the external portions of the ears.

There is greater survival of soft tissue on the right than the left side, probably because the dog was lying on this side and it was protected from the wind-borne ice particles. In general, the right side is well covered with the remains of the soft tissue and the left side is only represented by skeletal material. The post cranial skin that covers the right side extends dorsally from the clavicle to the right front leg to the ulna and between the front legs, over the right side of the abdomen and to the right hind leg. The fur, where it survives, has mostly been abraded by wind-borne ice particles and possibly also as a result of the dog being tumbled by the wind. Only about a millimetre or so survives in most place, though there are a few tufts of fur that around the penis that may still be at their original length. Skin covers the posterior end of the pelvis, including the scrotum, which is covered with a black fungal growth. The tail is still covered with skin. the last caudal bone of the tail has been lost post mortem. The lumpy texture of the skin around the tail possibly reflects weatherbeaten ligaments. The skin from the clavicle to the pelvis on the right side has been worn down to the fascia over the muscles. Some sections of the tendons and muscles are still attached to the left femur, tibia, fibula, humerus, radius and ulna. The cartilage is well preserved. The intervertebral discs are in particularly good condition.

The overall length of the dog from the tip of the nose to the end of the tail is 420 mm.

The overall length of the dog is 580 mm.

The tail is 150 mm long.

THe internal organs are still visible, though they are dessicated and difficult to identify. Identifiable organs included the trachea, heart, liver and the intestines. The anterior end of the trachea to the base of the intestines covers an area of 300 x 300 x 90 mm.

The skeleton is almost complete. The base of the skukk, including the nuchal crest, is visible on the left side.

The carpals, metacarpals and phalanges on the right front paw and the tarsals, metatarsals and phalanges on the left back paw are no longer extant. In addition, a numbe of the left ribs no longer survive.

The remaining left ribs include a portion of first rib, which measures 20 x 5 mm and has a width of 14 mm. The second rib is complete to the cartilage. Its overall length is 118 mm. At its widestpoint, it measures 12 mm and is 6 mm thick. The remaining length of the third rib is 37 mm and it is 11 mm at its widest remaining point. It has a thickness of 6 mm. The fourth rib is no longer extant. Only a sliver of the fifth rib survives. It measures 27 x 7 x 7 mm. The sixth rib is represented by 6 x 6 mm of bone.
