Hachikō. The akita born on November 10 1923. He waited for his master who passed away. https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hachik%C5%8D . I felt Hachiko needed some love as well so I drew him in Balto style. I remember seeing this animated short of him when I was very little and I never forgot it. Another dog-story I did not know about until I saw an animated movie and it stayed with me the same way Balto did.

As a tribute to my favorite movie of the event I will upload (as far as it is possible) something Balto-related each day of 2025. Here the gallery starts so you can see them all: https://www.deviantart.com/emberwol.....years-of-balto
“Dedicated to the indomitable spirit of the sled dogs that relayed antitoxin six hundred miles over rough ice, across treacherous waters, through Arctic blizzards from Nenana to the relief of stricken Nome in the winter of 1925.”
