Who was Balto the famous husky?

In late 1924, an epidemic of diphtheria broke out in Nome, Alaska, greatly affecting its Inuit children and the other inhabitants of the small town. It was decided that a relay of sled dog teams would be commissioned in the efforts to transport the antitoxin serum from Nenana to Nome. Shortly after, the Norwegian born dog breeder, musher, and owner of famous dogs Togo and Balto, Leonhard Seppala began to ready his sled dogs for the 600 mile trek. He, along with 20 other teams, was a part of the relay which delivered the life saving medicine to Nome. His team, with 12-year-old husky Togo in the lead, made a tremendous contribution to the relay efforts. They drove 170 miles to retrieve the medicine down in Shaktoolik, and 91 miles back north to the next check point at Golovin, traveling a total of 261 miles, farther than any other team. Though Seppala's team ran the furtherest and just as diligently under the extreme weather conditions of blizzards and snow storms, it was Gunner Kaasen's team who completed the final leg of the relay, reaching Nome on February 2, 1925 with Balto as lead dog. Kaasen and Balto became celebrities for finishing the the relay with medicine intact, the medicine which had a tremendous impact on Nome's fight against diphtheria. They were invited down to the lower 48 to star in a film about their heroic efforts, "Balto's Race to Nome." The Annual Iditirod race held in Alaska is a tribute to what Balto, his fellow team, and the rest of the dog teams accomplished in the winter of 1925.

What was the main differences between balto the movie and the surum run of 1925?

The sled run to retrieve the medicine was actually a relay. Instead of being the leader of the first team, Balto was the leader of the last team to carry the medicine to Nome. The longest and most hazardous distance was traveled by the team led by Togo.The medicine was never driven by the dogs alone, and none of the mushers were incapacitated.Balto was never an outcast as shown by the film, but was instead born in a kennel owned by the famous musher Leonhard Seppala, where he was trained until he was deemed fit for pulling a sled as the lead dog. Seppala was also the owner of Togo, whom he personally used to lead his dog team during the relay. Balto was actually used by one of Seppala's workers, Gunnar Kaasen.Obviously, Balto is the only animal, and possibly the only character, in the movie who is real.Also, Balto was not part wolf. He was a Siberian Husky.(All but the last answer came from Wiki. The last answer came from Yahoo Answers)
