Ep 292 - Wonder dog: The story of Balto
Update: 2024-11-11
Description
In 1925, a group of mushers and their sled dogs braved a blizzard to spend nearly a week relaying diphtheria serum from Anchorage to Nome, Alaska during a winter outbreak. The dog who led the final relay leg into town was Balto, who rose to fame as the face of the effort. But why is Balto stuffed and on display in Cleveland? The answer may surprise you.
