- Balto – a Siberian Husky who has been made a star of many movies. Thos sled dog led the run to Nome, Alaska. That run is better known as “Great race of Mercy.” The reason why this run was particularly important was because the sled dog teams had to deliver a serum that would help with the diphtheria epidemic which was raging in Nome. Balto even has a statue dedicated to him in the Central Park in New York City.

And, aslo, she saved the lives of the sinking Grasshopper ship by transferring the men to safety by holding on to her while swimming. After being taken hostage in Sumatra camp, she alerted the prisoners of any approaching danger at the camp.
