The famous diphtheria outbreak of 1925 in Nome, Alaska captured the nation's attention when the life-saving antitoxin was rushed to the remote town overland by dog-sled. It was dubbed the "great Race of Mercy" and was the inspiration for the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race held each March since 1973.
The most famous sled dog name is Balto. Most mushers name their litters after themes so it's easier to track family lines. We have dogs named after electrical categories such as: Amp, Electra, Conductor, Kilowatt, Volt, and so on.
