Sled Team at the Cleveland Zoo

Sled Team at the Cleveland Zoo
Following George Kimble's campaign to bring Balto and six of his teammates to Cleveland, the seven dogs lived out the remainder of their lives as celebrities at the city zoo. A bronze tablet and granite monument inscribed with their names was dedicated in 1931. Originally erected to be a roster of heroic dogs and act as a shrine for animal lovers in Cleveland, the monument would eventually be remembered as the gravestone of the dog pack. | Source: Cleveland State University.
