If you grew up in the 90s, you're well aware of the movie "Balto" and the story behind the greatest sled-dog in the US history. That's why he has a statue in Central Park , this pup is a hero!

HISTORY

This life-size sculpture of Balto, the Alaskan sled dog hero of 1925, was created by Brooklyn artist Frederick George Richard Roth.
