Series: Dog Diaries

A heroic sled dog shares his tale.

Small, feisty Siberian husky Togo-the overlooked sled-dog hero of the

1925 serum run to Nome-sets the record straight in Dog Diaries #4!

When a

diptheria epidemic breaks out in isolated Nome, Alaska, in January

1925, the only way to get life-saving serum to the town is by using

dog-sled relay teams. Twenty teams participate, and the dog who

inevitably gets credit for saving the town is Balto, lead dog on the

final team which delivered the serum. But few people have ever heard of

12-year-old Togo and his musher Leonard Seppala, who carried the serum

for almost double the length of any other team, and twice violated

warnings to avoid perilous Norton Sound and instead ran straight over

the frozen ice! With realistic black-and-white illustrations by Tim

Jessell-plus an appendix with information about Siberian huskies, sled

dogs, mushers, and more-Togo's tale is perfect for middle-grade readers

who love a spunky underdog!
