Yuh-huh! They give autism! /s

He was a good boy, don't blame him for what people did.

Fuck that. Balto's owner was the asshole. Balto himself and his team were sold and spent years malnourished and chained to a sled in a freak show wondering what they did wrong, and when they were finally "rescued" they wound up in a zoo. Well fed, but in cages while people gawked at them. Balto watched the rest of his team die one by one until he himself died blind and paralyzed.

Togo spent the rest of his life with his family. Neither dog knew they were famous or why, but Togo knew he was loved.

I don't quite remember the story, but I don't think Balto had much of a say in his portrayal

I think Togo won in the end, because Balto and his sled team basically became freak show animals and later live museum exhibits, chained and starving, like they weren't living creatures at all. They were later rescued and ended their days as zoo animals. After Balto died he was stuffed and put in a museum.

Meanwhile Togo and his team went on tours, were given gold medals, continuing their lives as sled dogs and Togo got to retire in a nice kennel where he was bred and lived well until he was euthanized at the age of 16 due to health complications.

Don't feel bad for Togo. He may have been largely forgotten to history, but he sure as shit won the life lottery compared to Balto.

remember to spade and neuter your pets. o7

It was initially discovered on the other side of the planet in a french lab in 1923. It wasnt widely adopted until the 30s. But yeah it technically did "exist". In hindsight I should have just said it wasn't available.

Probably for the best… No child should have to live in Florida.

Feel bad joking about it but it sounds like a cutting cost program. Moving from No kids left behind to just no kids left

Makes sense. Unfortunately diptheria will be swelling soon
