he' s a dog from the Iditarod do sled race
He's not just that.To Tell you the truth,most of the first movie isn't true,and the last 2 aren't real at all.In early 1925,doctors discovered that there was an outbreak of dipthria,which is a disease that effects the troght that grows and if its not treated with antiserum's in time,it grows so big the victim suffocates and dies and usually effects kids,not adults,in Nome,Alaska and the nearest anti serum was in Anguage which is across Alaska,so the people of Nome decided to use a train to Nenana,and use a musing(dog sled)teams for the other half.Balto wasn't spose to run alot,but he did.When he was running,the lead dog lost the trail because when they where running a blizzard co bad you couldn't see 8 in. in front of your face.Luckeley,the iditarod trail was used to get mail to other city's back when,and Balto ran that trail many,many times and knew how to get home.So his musher,Gunner Cassen,knew it,so he put Balto in the lead.They didn,t notice but they passed their stop,so they ran
the rest of the way,and tada,he was famous,but if you don,t think a dog finding
his way trough a really really bad blizzard and saving a whole city,well that's your chocie,hes my model,p.s he's was a Siberian husky,mostley black if not all=D

∙ 11y agoBalto was a wolf-dog mother was wolf father was a husky. Balto is a hero to America he delivered medicine from anchorage to Nome Alaska in the worst of snow storms when all hope of the sick and the sicks families was lost. one of those among the sick was a close friend to Balto and especially to Jenna his mate.and so Balto went to and fro from there and he got there delayed by stupid Steele but alive and with medicine.

I would just like to point out that the answer above is based on the first movie of the animated film series Balto. Balto was a Siberian husky sled dog who led his team on the final leg of the 1925 serum run to Nome, in which diphtheria antitoxin was transported from Anchorage, Alaska, to Nenana, Alaska, by train and then to Nome by sled dog to combat an outbreak of the disease. The run is commemorated by the annual Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. There is no record of there being a sled dog called Steele that tried to stop him and no record of a female husky called Jenna being his mate.

Who was Balto the famous husky?
In late 1924, an epidemic of diphtheria broke out in Nome, Alaska, greatly affecting its Inuit children and the other inhabitants of the small town. It was decided that a relay of sled dog teams would be commissioned in the efforts to transport the antitoxin serum from Nenana to Nome. Shortly after, the Norwegian born dog breeder, musher, and owner of famous dogs Togo and Balto, Leonhard Seppala began to ready his sled dogs for the 600 mile trek. He, along with 20 other teams, was a part of the relay which delivered the life saving medicine to Nome. His team, with 12-year-old husky Togo in the lead, made a tremendous contribution to the relay efforts. They drove 170 miles to retrieve the medicine down in Shaktoolik, and 91 miles back north to the next check point at Golovin, traveling a total of 261 miles, farther than any other team. Though Seppala's team ran the furtherest and just as diligently under the extreme weather conditions of blizzards and snow storms, it was Gunner Kaasen's team who completed the final leg of the relay, reaching Nome on February 2, 1925 with Balto as lead dog. Kaasen and Balto became celebrities for finishing the the relay with medicine intact, the medicine which had a tremendous impact on Nome's fight against diphtheria. They were invited down to the lower 48 to star in a film about their heroic efforts, "Balto's Race to Nome." The Annual Iditirod race held in Alaska is a tribute to what Balto, his fellow team, and the rest of the dog teams accomplished in the winter of 1925.
