Balto Statue

I think the Statue should stay but a new and bigger statue should be erupted. With Togo!

Not sure about Togo but the way the story has been told, Balto has gotten the most praise. TBC

Because people care... not a lot of foot traffic up in Nome, Alaska

Yes it was a good true life movie and going to the park to take pictures with the statue 🐺 is cool 😎👍

Central Park Conservancybsays it was erected the same year, so 1925. This was a story that was broadcast on radio across the country and everyone was enthralled- so Balto became a national hero: http://www.centralparknyc.org/things-to-see-and-do/attractions/balto.html

Togo was not forgotten and Balto did not recieve all the praise. both dogs got their own statue for doing their part.

Actually, Leoard Seppala was the owner of Togo. They and their sled dog team were the ones to run 261 miles. They should have gotten all the fame and glory because they did the hardest part of the journey. But, since Gunnar Kaasen and his team did the last part of the serum race, he and Balto got all the Glory. And Balto wasn’t even his lead dog! Gunnar Kaasen’s lead dog was a Siberian Husky named Fox. I really hoped this helps :)

The real dog who saved many live is named togo

Balto (1919 – March 14, 1933) was a mostly black with some white[1] Siberian husky and sled dog who led his team on the final leg of the 1925 serum run to Nome, in which diphtheria antitoxin was transported from Anchorage, Alaska, to Nenana, Alaska, by train and then to Nome by dog sled to combat an outbreak of the disease.[2] Balto was named after the Sami explorer Samuel Balto. Balto died of natural causes at age 14. Wikipedia

Balto (eng. Balto) is a coal-black Siberian Husky, a sled dog from a team carrying drugs during a diphtheria epidemic in 1925 in the cities of Alaska, USA. It was named after the Norwegian explorer Samuel Balto.

Both Togo and Balto were co-sled dogs which brought the medical serum to Nome Alaska. For whatever reason, Balto received more Fame and acclaim in the public View. Your suggestion to add a Togo statue to the other side of the pathway is a great idea.

well they already have a statue of togo in Seward park NY, Balto is in central park, thats why you think their isnt one of togo. bc they are not side by side

No, the statue is just outside the zoo grounds in the park itself

He was a good boy. Better than most humans.

Enter from the south enterance of the park and you should see more statues along your way
