Balto

Balto is a dog and he lived on his own in Cleveland. He tried to get medicine from Nenana to Nome. First they try to send the medicine by ship then plane and then they try dog sled. 20 dogs teams up to get to Nenana to get the medicine at the train station. A little girl gets really sick and the doctor said she got diphtheria. It took Balto and the other dogs 5 days and 7 hours to bring back the medicine to Nome for the kids. In 1995 they made a statue of Balto in NYC in a park. And they wanted his bones in a museum.
