The lifesaving serum needed to combat the disease was hundreds of miles away, and severe winter weather made transportation by plane or ship impossible. A relay of sled dog teams covered the dangerous route, with Balto leading the final leg of the journey. His team brought the serum to Nome, saving countless lives. Created by sculptor Frederick George Richard Roth, the bronze statue was unveiled on December 17, 1925, the same year as the serum run.

White's "Stuart Little", where the titular mouse character races a model sailboat.
