    DOGS TO THE RESCUE
    NOME, Alaska: In late January, diphtheria struck the children of this small town of 1,500. The hospital in Anchorage had the
     medicine that could save their lives, but it was almost 900 miles away. A train could transport the medicine to Nenana, but
     that left 674 miles to go. The rivers were frozen, the snow-covered road was impassable, and the only two airplanes in Alaska
     were in storage for the winter.
    It was decided that dogsled teams would relay the medicine from Nenana to Nome. With gale-force winds and temperatures reaching
     40 degrees below zero, the mission seemed to be doomed. But after 127.5 hours, a 13-dog sled team led by canine Balto reached
     Nome with the life-saving medicine. Now, thereis talk that teams will gather in years to come to honor this feat, per-haps
     with an annual dogsled race to be called the Iditarod.
