Reviews
"I love this Statue! Thanks to the movie I would have never known about this amazing dog."
"Balto is one of the heroic dogs but he only ran 31 miles. Watch the movie Togo. Togo and Seppala ran 264miles. This statue was made in honor of one of the dogs to make it to the town to deliver the serum but was not the "most honorable dog"."
"Wasn't crowded, and it was very clean. Anyone who loves the history of Balto should check out the statue."
"Having watched Balto as a child this was a must see for me. It was interesting to learn the real life Balto was present when the Statue was unveiled. I also had the absolute pleasure of someone bringing their Husky that sat next to the Statue."
