Sure, Balto is the storied hero canine that delivered medicine to a remote Alaskan village, but there was another dog that actually did the 260 miles before Balto took over. What was his name?

Togo lived from 1913 to 1929, and was the lead sled dog of the team led by Leonhard Seppala who did the famed serum run to Nome. Even though he covered five times more distance than his canine companion Balto, he didn't get the fame that Balto got. Hey, life isn't fair!
