Albert Whitehead spends time with Star, his pet reindeer, in his pen with downtown Anchorage, Alaska, in the background on March 11, 2025. (AP Photo/Mark Thiessen)Anchorage police posted the surveillance video on social media in hopes it would lead to the suspect’s identity. So far, no viable tips have come in, spokesperson Christopher Barraza said in an email.

Star’s pneumonia worsened, and a cough leads Whitehead to believe Star ate something harmful, perhaps while loose.The pneumonia is likely due to him accidentally inhaling the chronic reflux or regurgitation of the contents in the largest of the reindeers’ four stomachs, Holland said. The sprays possibly also contributed.It’s possible there’s a blockage, but the largest stomach of a reindeer is quite big and not easily obstructed, Holland said. However, ingested plastic bags causing chronic weight loss and indigestion problems are the most common foreign objects she’s seen in reindeer.

The next option would be surgery to look at the reindeer’s abdomen and possibly remove any blockage, but it’s generally a poor outcome, even in healthy deer, she said.The bond between Whitehead and Star is “quite significant and precious,” Holland said.

“Albert’s daily life and reason for getting out for walks and such all are because of Star. And Star is really fond of Albert, too,” Holland said in a text. “It will be quite devastating for him if he loses Star.”

Anchorage pioneers Oro and Ivan Stewart started the reindeer tradition, bringing the deer they received from an Alaska Native herder to Anchorage in the 1950s. Whitehead took over as caretaker from his friends in 2002.Nestle officials said they are working with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Agriculture Department and investigating the source of the wood-like material. The company said it launched the recall after consumers reported the problem, including at least one potential choking incident.
