The real Balto
No, not the Disney version. The real Balto is a Siberian husky “who led his team on the final leg of the 1925 serum run to Nome, in which diphtheria antitoxin was transported from Anchorage, Alaska to Nenana, Alaska by train and then to Nome by dog sled to combat an outbreak of the disease.” Pretty impressive for a dog who wasn’t considered to be a particularly good lead dog by his owner!
