There was an episode of a show called The Secrets of Central Park. The ranger said Balto’s is the ONLY statue that never needs polishing because of kids constantly climbing on him.

What an amazing story. Thank God for dogs, and humans that care for them. Thanks.

French President Charles de Gaulle said it best:

"The better I get to know men, the more I find myself loving dogs."

I have loved the story of Togo for decades and am so happy that he finally got his flowers in a really good movie. And yes, it’s a total tearjerker so be prepared.

Story no less than amazing James. Thanks for a heart-warmer as a wake-up message.

I read the story of Balto when I was a kid (I read all the animal stories), but I didn't know about Togo! Thank you for including him in this amazing tale!

I remember learning about this in school. Every one of those heroic dogs deserved a medal - it was a team effort. That applies to the humans too.

A truly epic story. Kaasen was a natural born athlete as well.

I much prefer dogs (and all other animals) to humans. This is why.

Togo is no longer available for viewing because it became a tax write off for Disney😣

According to imdb, you might be able to see it on Tubi? Glad I saw it when it was on Disney+!
