Struggling with impaired mobility and a weak heart, Balto was euthanized on March 14, 1933 at the age of fourteen. Even in death, Balto retained his celebrity. The body was mounted and placed on display at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, where it rivaled a collection of shrunken heads for being the most requested exhibit. The famous canine's thyroid and adrenal glands were also preserved in George Crile's organ collection at the Cleveland Clinic. | Date: 1933 | Source: Cleveland State University.
