I’m not Alaskan, but I listen to A LOT of Alaskan news (they are a lot like florida? Idk it gets wild up there). Apparently Alaskans get upset that Alaska is forgotten about in a lot of tours, but then have a really bad habit of not showing up when big acts do come to Alaska (I think Kiss or Metallica is still p pissed about some 80s show that caught the stage on fire?)
BUT the idea that Alaskans not only made legislation to bring Balto home but also drew record crowds to see him at the museum 🥹 makes my eyes moist that they appreciate this Alaskan native puppy so much.
