  • I did my own research a long time ago and found that 1. Seppalas daughter was sick with the disease that's why he pushed for the run 2. He didn't make it back on the ice, he threw Togo into the water to swim ashore and pull the team back 3. Several dogs died of burst lungs, meaning they ran themselves to death. I love that you made this video! I didn't know Baltos team was sold off and treated bad 😞

They may not have understood the concept of disease and medicine, but they could all tell their handlers were more anxious and being more reckless than normal.

When I saw the movie I remember how great granny said that it's very inaccurate and she was sad that Togo didn't get any kind of praise but the movie gave me a nice representation of what happened. Nowadays I like to watch it for nostalgia and still cry, even if it's not what happened. I love you great granny

It was a little by accident, a little because it's more feeseble remember 2 names instead of several dozen

  • Jon didn't touch on how horribly Balto and the other dogs were treated. They were tied to a sled in a dimly lit room for months where they were neglected and reportedly even abused. George Kimble raised $2,000 the price for the dog's freedom. It was a big deal in Cleveland with even school children working to raise the funds. There has always been a little dispute about sending Balto's remains back to Alaska but he belongs to Cleveland they were the ones who truly valued him and gave him a peaceful retirement.
