Who's Balto?The real Balto was a part of the legendary 1925 Serum Run og Nome, where over 150 dogs and 20 musher relaying it from Nenana to Nome, Alaska. Serveral dogs used in the dled run include Fritz, Fox, Balto, Blackie, and proably the most remembered besides Balto, Togo. The temas ran over 674, in just 5 1/2 days (most of it in the dark)

This movie, released in 1995, was based VERY loosly on the Serum Run. In the movie, Blato is a outcas half-dog, half-wolf who just wants to run. Bullied by the top sled dog, Steele and his team, Balto has very few friends including Boris the snow goose; Muk and Luk, two polor bears who cannot swim; and Jenna, the beuatiful husky.
When the diptheria strikes Nome in the winter of 1925, Balto is left out of the Serum Run Team and watches as the dogs race out of a town to get the medicine Nome so desperatly needs.
On the way back with the medicine, Steele leads his team past the second checkpoint, getting themselves seriously and totally lost. Balto goes after them with his gang of misfit creatures to bring the team home and save Nome from what could be the most terrifying enemy of all.

Haha, I sound like a commerical. This is what I get for having a sister obsessed with Balto.
Petrie, what do you want to know? I can ask Balto Source's admin, who might have a clue.
