100 years ago today, Balto and a team of sled dogs reached Nome, Alaska, delivering lifesaving diphtheria antitoxin to a stricken community along the historic Iditarod trail. This act of heroism on the part of all the mushers and sled dogs who made the journey led to this famous statue being erected in @centralparknyc later that year, in December 1925. Today, two members of the sled team are honored here in New York: both Balto, who completed the race, and Togo, who led the longest and most dang

98 years ago, a Siberian husky named Balto was part of the sled-dog team relay that braved over 600 miles of treacherous blizzard conditions to deliver medicine to children in Alaska. The journey ultimately prevented the escalation of a diphtheria outbreak. To recognize the heroism of these dogs, a statue of Balto was unveiled in Central Park #OnThisDay in 1925, and Balto even attended the unveiling. Created by sculptor Frederick Roth, Balto is one of the most beloved monuments in the Park today

This good boy turned 100 years old today! Balto returned from Nome, Alaska, a hero after delivering medication to a remote community through a blizzard (although today we note that other dogs and mushers contributed to the life-saving run). On December 15, 1925, this now-famous statue was unveiled--it was then and now one of just a rare few monuments in New York City where the subject was still alive. Since then, he has braved rain, snow, and play from millions of children to become one of New Y
