It happened in Alaska. In the city of Nome, an epidemic of diphtheria began, which threatened to kill all children. A vaccine was urgently needed, which was not available in the city. The owner of the best dog team in town went to get the vaccine. On the way back, the team was caught by a blizzard. The dogs, straining all their strength, walked and walked forward. But gradually, exhausted, they, one after another, lay down in the snow, with a look asking forgiveness from the owner. The man was also exhausted. And only the leader Balt did not give up. The owner cut the strings and attached a bag of medicine to the dog's collar. There was no other way out. And the dog seemed to understand it. The man no longer thought about himself. He thought only of the dog: would Balt get to Nome, would he go the rest of the way? The man knew that he would die, and when he suddenly felt a hot dog's tongue on his cheeks, he was sure that this was just delusion. But it was Balt, who, having delivered the vaccine to the village, brought people to the aid of the owner. He was exhausted and his paws were bleeding, but what did it all matter if the owner dies in the snow there.
