Photo And Characteristic Dog Species

In January 1925, a dyphtheria epidemic broke out in a small Alaskan town Nom. A lot of vaccines were urgently needed to fight the disease. Noma could not be accessed by water (the navigational season was completed due to the freezing of waters) or by air (the snow storm buoy) or by rail (there was nothing). The only way to deliver the vaccine was through dog ties, which were expected to cross the path of 1,085 km. There was an estaphate expedition, consisting of 20 racers and about 150 dogs. Leonard Seppala, with his dogs wrapped up in the race, led by an experienced dog named Togo, accepted a 300 kilometer estephate from Noma. To save time, Leonard Seppala made an inextricable decision to drive on the fragile ice of Norton Bay. 80 kilometers of cluck went to the night in a 40-degree freeze and a strong storm. The ice creamed under the narts, and eventually the ice around them broke down, and they dived on the ice on the high seas for hours until they hit the whole ice. The sepala and his loyal dog of Togo were scattered in half a metre of water to bring the other dogs closer. The dog of Togo, apart from its courage and courage, has had the ability to find the way, feeling the danger. He's forced to work the stubborn and frozen dogs, to choose the right direction in the dark, to warn the skis and cracks. In total, Seppala ' s cliff has crossed the path to Noma 146 kilometres, most of the participants in the estaphate. The total route to the Noma era was 420 km. When they reached a town called Golovin, they passed the staphate to the next cliff. There is some information that this was Togo ' s last run, but it's not true - after the Norton Bay ice raid, he's been around five years old, not once again winning races.
