Mans Best Friend Indeed 3 OF 4
When Balto died at 1933, his body was stuffed and was placed on display in the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. His bravery is immortalized in a monument made for him in New York City and through an animated film released by Universal Pictures on December 1995.
Long before Balto’s bravery, together with the other sled dogs that ran the race, a St. Bernard named Barry has already worked as a mountain rescue dog way back in the 1800s. This brave and gentle St. Bernard saved 40 lives during his life at the monastery near the Swiss-Italian border, the Great St. Bernard Pass. Travelers often end up in the monastery to seek for shelter and they reach the monastery through the aid of the dogs.
