The Cruelest Miles: The Heroic Story of Dogs and Men in a Race Against an Epidemic
“A stirring tale of survival, thanks to man’s best friend.” ―Seattle Times
When a deadly diphtheria epidemic swept through Nome, Alaska, in 1925, the local doctor knew that without a fresh batch of antitoxin, his patients would die. The lifesaving serum was a thousand miles away, the port was icebound, and planes couldn’t fly in blizzard conditions―only the dogs could make it. The heroic dash of dog teams across the Alaskan wilderness to Nome inspired the annual Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race and immortalized Balto, the lead dog of the last team whose bronze statue still stands in New York City’s Central Park. This is the greatest dog story, never fully told until now.

It was a journey of more than 1,000 km which included a crossing across the perilous Norton Sound – where he rescued his team and pilot in a courageous swim across the ice floes. Although at first Seppala was refused entry. of the taciturn sled dog Togo and his wife Constance had failed to convince him not to expel her from the house, Togo was ultimately the central piece of this success. With his determination, his perseverance, his resistance , his courage, Togo managed to make Seppala understand that he has talent and that he can be decisive in the latter’s travels, who declared, moreover towards the end, that of his life: “he Never had a better dog than Togo. His endurance, his loyalty and his intelligence could not be better!” So if we believe in ourselves, anything is possible, My Friends. Respiratory viruses continue to affect and kill people.
