    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.

      Those dogs were all heros. Dogs are so in tune with their handlers and I am sure they all sensed that this was a more important trip than they had ever undertaken before. 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.

    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.

    I always knew that not everything was true in the movie but I still love Balto. Even though the sequels sucks. But it's interesting to know the true story. Heart goes out to all those brave men and dogs who saved all those people back then.

The dogs were absolutely amazing too, my favorite animals on earth are dogs. Nothing on earth compares to the loyalty of a dog.

I certainly cannot image driving through -79.8° F (-62° C) freezing condition to get to the destination. Jon, please make another episode explaining/giving us more details into back what happened afterwards. Thanks!
