Written by arctic explorer and adventurer Pam Flowers who dog sledded over many of the same trails as Leonhard Seppala and Togo, the story is told in 150 pages plus 13 historic photos and three detailed maps. The author dispells a few myths in this fact-based story. Leonhard Seppala came from Norway and arrived in Alaska in 1900 where he learned to run a dog team and within two years became an expert musher. In 1913 a Siberian Husky named Dolly was imported into Alaska. In 1916, Dolly gave birth to her second litter, a single puppy named Togo. When he was just eight months old, Togo made Leonhard's team and became his favorite lead dog. In 1925 a deadly diphtheria epidemic threatened Nome, Alaska. Life-saving serum was hundreds of miles away and the only sure way to get the serum to Nome was to relay it across Alaska using 20 dog teams. Togo bravely led his team through raging storms, over the longest distance, and across the most dangerous part of the relay. Togo, the little dog no one expected anything of, helped save Nome and became a hero.
