Balto was a brave and intelligent dog in Alaska. Alaska is the coldest place on earth, covered with a thick layer of snow. Sled, pulled by dogs, is the only mode of transport here. Balto is the lead dog of his sled team. He has to carry medicine for the sick children miles away in Nome. He is the only hope for the children in need of medicine. One day, the weather turned bad. Balto found himself in the worst storms ever. It had been snowing for days. The temperature went down to minus 30 degrees. The children were waiting for medicine but Balto was nowhere in sight. Everyone thought Balto might have perished in the storm along with the other dogs. But Balto was no ordinary dog. He braved the weather under a heap of ice that protected him. Everyone was happy when Balto finally reached Nome.
