While the lower 48 celebrated Balto, mushers from all over the world elbowed to get one of Togo's line. Kennels from Fairbanks to Maine bred what came to be known as Seppala Siberians. A breed valued for their intelligence, stamina, courtage, but most of all, their good nature and uncommon bond with humans.
Togo had the heart of a survivor. Not the storm of the century, nor a harrowing serum run could stop him.
I always thought he lived for the sled. When all along, what he lived for was me. We resumed the trail, we discovered a walk was as good as a run.
If you're lucky enough to have a great one, they never really leave. They stay with you as long as you live, harnessed to your heart, giving their all, always.
