Hiqq, try watching the true story movie called “ Togo” on Disney +. It’s the story of the true hero husky named “Togo” , who ran about 270 kms while the others like Baltimore all ran their only about 30 kms each. Balto just happened to be the runner for the last length of 30 kms into town where there just happened to be a news reporter and the rest is history.

Why did he live at a zoo, he should have lived out his years as a beloved pet in his own home

Dog named Togo was the real hero
Player maz
Togo was the skled dog that should have been honoured as he led the team that travelled the farthest. Balto took over the last 30 miles or so and because the newspaper man witnessed this he assumed Balti was the big hero. no one corrected him at the time as the owner of Togo did not care for publicity.

Player #15096415, sled dogs do not make for home pets so easily. most have spent their lives outdoors and prefer it that way.

it was a DOG CALLED TOGO RESEARCH IT NOT BALLTO...
Hiqq
Balto is honoured as statues, movies and in a Disney comic by Carl Barks ås "Barko" in "North of the Yukon"!

The dog in the photo is not a husky. It looks like a setter.

ALL of these dogs that did this wonderful thing were ALL hero’s, bcuz without anyone one of them, this wonderful story wud not be!!
Red England
Poor dog - after he, Togo & all the others did they still didn’t let him rest in peace after he’d died! Stuffed him and he’s STILL ON DISPLAY - in my humble opinion he shud have been buried with a nice memorial & his story n photographs with his story displayed instead of his actual body. RIP Balto ❤️

Player #5167578, watched this and made me cry. Felt so betrayed for Togo when he's the one who managed to ran the longest and the hardest leg of the relay. Balto was the second choice and was left behind in the beginning but still the one remembered instead of Togo. Fortunately, there are people who still recognized his efforts and celebrated him even after everyone already thought it was Balto. Togo for me is the real hero of the relay. ❤️
Tommy
Player maz, Balto probably had lot's and lots of love from the keepers and may have free range in safe areas. I like to think so.

OpalEgg80261, 1 trillion percent !!! I almost feel sorry for those that never get to experience the love of a dog... It is wonderful and unique and you really can't compare it to human love, it's very different. All dogs are capable of loving their owners in this special way, on one condition, you have to be kind ALWAYS. If you have had a bad experience with a dog, go to any animal welfare shelter and ask them to help you find comfort and friendship with a dog.

Steph, Togo as a second choice would make the correct answer too ambiguous. If only Balto or only Togo are options, then either way there is only one correct option, even if both answers have merit, to put them both as choices makes either choice arguably incorrect.
Rain
Togo did a much rigorous task...
Wiser
Togo and Balto are both heros.
Steph
Why is Togo not among the choices?
Player #53640016
Togo Seppala and the team of sled dogs were the heroes .
Aurora
Player #15096415, I wonder that too.
Goose
Player #15096415, you know he didn't necessarily lived in a cage in the zoo, right? He could have been with the zookeepers as their own pet and helper.

Perhaps, from the running of the Iditarod race, came the saying "dog-tired"?
