It was first noticed by the roadside in the distant 1995. Smaller, tightly folded Shepherd screeched rushed under the wheels of oncoming cars. Machines were leaving, and the dog remained. She was a devoted and loving soul, did not know that those whom she so desperately waiting for her to come back ever.
In the summer of 1995, shortly before the dog's ghost in the South motorway, on the same place there was a car accident. Car cherry color, which the couple returned from their honeymoon, faced with the counter machine. Of all the passengers unharmed was only dog. During the strike the dog simply thrown out of the car.

So Faithful went into the woods to the owner, came back and did not see him dead. The dog was sure that sooner or later the owner comes. It can not come. And so I waited until the last ...

His monument contestant named "Monument loyalty": "On the pedestal depicts a dog around the dog wrapped in tape, which symbolizes the road. At the end of the tape - the star, symbolizing the soul master. The eyes of the dog was converted to a star. "
Two years after the death of the dog was a monument with the inscription "Monument dedication" at the intersection of the Southern Highway and street Lev Yashin.
The monument, in fact, not the dog is more, and the people themselves. To remember. They collected 250 thousand. Ulyanovsk sculptor Oleg Klyuev sculpted in bronze dog, he said: "All I was trying to bring to their work, so it is - infinite dedication." As conceived by the sculptor, sculpted in bronze dog "looks into the distance with hope in his eyes».

In the Alps there Senbernarsky pass. Once it was a road linking Italy with the countries of Central Europe. This road was a difficult one because that was built at a height of two and a half kilometers away, and due to the weather conditions of the places: the storm began suddenly and caught on the road travelers often lose direction and killed.

At the beginning of 1925 diphtheria, a terrible disease that affects children, broke into the settlement of Nome. It was necessary medicine - diphtheria serum (antitoxin), though all adjacent hospitals. Contact me by telegraph to all nearby cities, we found that serum little left in Anchorage, which lay thousands of miles away from the settlement.
The ice storm and the storm was not allowed to take off planes. It was decided to carry serum by train to the city of Nenana (Nenana), but no further, for lack of railways. However, Nenana was located at a distance of over a thousand kilometers of the ice desert. Residents of Nome offer a way out: to equip a dog sled and rely on speed and power of a dog sled and leading skills.
The team was armed, and rides off toward the icy wind and snow. Many surrendered during the transition. It is not surprising, because it was almost impossible to find a way to snowstorms. The first arrived in Nenana Gunnar Kosen (NOK. Gunnar Kaasen), whose harness huskies led Balto. However, on the way back Gunnar was so weakened by frostbite, which could not continue to lead the team.
And when Gunnar Kosen lost all hope to save the children of Nome, Balto, I remember the way, he led the team back to the city, without reducing speed to a safe arrival at Nome.
