In 1925, a killer diphtheria outbreak hit the town of Nome. At that time, Alaska was crippled by adverse weather conditions. The sled dogs were the only hope for delivering a life-saving serum to the patients. A Siberian Husky named Balto succeeded in this exceedingly dangerous mission and became a world-famous canine celebrity. His enormous effort was honored with a statue in New York’s Central Park.
