Puzzle Description:

Siberian Husky. The words in the puzzle title appear on a plaque dedicated to all the dogs of the 1925 serum run to Nome; it is displayed in front of the Balto statue in NY Central Park. "After the successful serum run, the freight dog Balto became the most famous canine of the run. Many mushers today consider Togo to be the true hero of the run, as Seppala's team led by Togo covered the longest and most hazardous leg. They made a round trip of 261 miles (420 km) from Nome to Shaktoolik and back to Golovin, and delivered the serum a total of 91 miles (146 km), almost double the distance of any other team." "Togo greatly impacted the modern day Siberian Husky. Many modern trainers of Siberian Huskies trace their dogs' lineage back to Togo." Quotes are from this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Togo_%28dog%29

Dogs are so cool. Very enjoyable puzzle, Kit. Have you solved Aldege's dog series yet? I think you'll like it.

Thx Teresa,i wondered if my Fitz and Alice puzzles were Kitz inspiration...Ha,ha,ha...Aldège made a funny.lol:)

Awesome puzzle! I wonder if my husky Chinook was descended from these dogs. His sire was from Alaska.

Glad you liked this one. Ironically, this started out as another cat, but the ears reminded me of my old husky so the pic and subject changed.

medic25733, if he has pedigree papers, you might be able to research the lineage through the AKC.

fasstar & aldege, haven't yet had a chance to work the "Fitz and Alice puzzles" yet, but the descriptions/comments made me laugh. :)

Excellent puzzle.
