    St Francis, please care for those dogs, especially the six who died during the transport of the serum.

    Where is the bravest dog? He is the one who lead the sled that runs 264 miles and you didn't even mentioned his name Such a shame in humanity😔

    All the dogs and mushers deserves praise. BALTO and his team ended up in a sideshow. The children of Cleveland, Ohio contributed pennies to buy Balto and his team. Balto lived out his life in the Cleveland Zoo. Balto is mounted and displayed at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History.

    If it were up to PETA they’d end all dogs kept for sledges. Ridiculous
