The two-fight losing streak seemed like a small cut compared to the emotional scar left by Bradley’s first husky, Ice, passing away while he was overseas. A former wrestler at the University of Iowa, Bradley is a natural competitor. For people like Bradley, losing sucks. But that feeling pales in comparison to losing his support system at home. Even though Bradley has friends and family, it was Ice who was always there for him. Simply put, it was a catastrophic series of events for Bradley.
And still, the torment was not over.
“I call it my 11 days of hell,” Bradley said. “The only thing I can think of to get my mind off of all this trauma and tragedy was to ride my motorcycle. Two days later I came around a blind corner and there happen to be a car stalled out and I got injured pretty badly.”
