Softcore History

The Scrappy Sled Dog That Captivated Our Nation


Listen Later

Balto was a Siberian Husky sled dog who helped transport life saving medicine to a remote Alaskan settlement. Initially seen as a mediocre pup, this good boy proved his owner wrong and led a pack of 13 others through the final stages of a 674 mile serem relay to prevent the death of hundreds of residents in the gold rush town of Nome. He captured the hearts of America and became an overnight celebrity for his efforts. But did he deserve it? Was his tale perhaps embellished by the national media? We dive into the true story of Balto.
