Balto

Balto is the world's greatest dog. He was an Alaskan sled dog and of course, a husky. He saved two children from diptheria and from it spreading. Balto ran in a relay to bring the children the medicine they needed. His team was the second to the last relay-stop. The last relay-stop dog sled team crapped out, so Balto went the rest of the way. It was snowing in Alaska so bad, that they could not travel by train - only by dog sled. The medicine was from Anchorage, Alaska and had to get to Nome. Balto is the bravest! Many lives were saved because of his bravery. This happened in 1925. I bet he got a life long supply of Kibbles and Bits!
