National Sled Dog day honors Balto, perhaps the most famous sled dog in history.
In 1925, during a diphtheria epidemic in Nome, Alaska, Balto and his master Gunnar Kaasen braved the Alaskan wilderness with the life-saving medicine needed. Balto wasn’t alone. Like the Pony Express, sled dog teams ran in relays. Balto and his team relayed with another sled dog leader Togo driven by Leonhard. The two dogs and their teams ran a total of 674 miles and arrived in Nome, Alaska, at just shy of 5:30 AM on February 2, 1925.
National Sled Dog (also written Sled dog)is about acknowledging the place in history sled dogs have occupied in exploration, search and rescue, transportation and sport.
