In 1925 a sled dog named Togo led his team

through danger and blinding blizzards to

transport vital diphtheria antitoxin to isolated

Nome, Alaska. He was best known for that

wonderful effort, but in fact he already had

many outstanding achievements to his credit,

and continued to serve his master, the great

musher Leonhard Seppala, for years to come.

This is the first full biography of Togo from

birth to death and beyond, meticulously

researched and referenced - the story of the

great sled dog who became known as the most heroic

animal of all time.
