Dogs are smarter than you give them credit for. History is replete with their intelligence, candour, and bravery.
Bukowski knew it, Einstein knew it and now so do you!
As winter heaves its last sighs, let’s remember true born of the snow – Balto.
In 1925 when a case of diphtheria broke out among the children of Nome, Alaska, and the roads were down due to snow, Togo led a Sled dog team on the 674 mile trip to Anchorage, to deliver the medicine.
Balto, the dog who ran the final leg of the trip, was celebrated as a hero throughout the country and a statue of him was placed in Central Park in his honour.
There’s a movie inspired by his life-or-death race. Earlier in 2020, Disney celebrated the forgotten heroics of Togo.
They are good dogs, Brent!
Oh yes, one beautiful account…… a while ago, there was an animated movie called Balto and Steele? Enjoyed it so much! Etched in my memory, forever
That movie was apart from the 1995 movie Balto, which you wrote about?
You know I love your blog just as much as I love our furred gods.
And that’s why I have left a little piece of something happy for you over at mine.
Love,
