Everyone thinks about Balto when they consider the famous 1925 Serum run to Nome, Alaska, but did you know that Togo was the lead sled dog the began The Great Race of Mercy to deliver the diphtheria antitoxin.
Without the brave dogs and their mushers, the epidemic raging in Nome might not have had a good ending.
