While Balto garners most of the attention, modern Iditarod fans point out it was the seasoned huskie Togo who led the legendary musher Leonhard Seppala on the most grueling portion of the the relay, across Norton Sound. The Togo/Seppala team traveled hundreds of miles from Nome and back with the original plan of doing half of the entire relay. A last minute order by Alaska's governor to speed the delivery by adding extra relay teams robbed Togo of his place in dog history.
Togo's preserved carcass is on display at the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race Gift Shop/Museum, Wasilla, Alaska.
