The real question IMO, is where is the love for Togo? The true savior of the 1925 serum run.

I watched the Willem Dafoe movie on Disney Plus, I struggled to get through the movie without getting very emotional. I’ve got 2 Huskies so the scenes hit close to home, incredible story

Jane you seen “8 Below”? I have Malamutes and that movie makes me cry.

Togo often ran away for a few months and wasn't around for the press tour, Balto was chosen because Togo wasn't back yet and the press couldn't wait.

And Fox! Who didn’t have a “cool” name so didn’t get love from the press….
