Reply to comment by Rangertough666 in TIL: The famous Alaskan sled dog "Balto" was preserved in taxidermy and is on display at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History in Ohio. by alex6219

It's important to note that Balto was chosen because the dog that actually lead the majority of the run had run away for a few months immediately after the race, as it often did, and the musher couldn't get the press to wait and was forced to bring Balto with him.
