In January 1925, Nome, Alaska, faced a diphtheria outbreak that could have become a significant public health crisis, threatening to wipe out the town's population and nearby areas. Diphtheria, a highly contagious bacterial disease, could be deadly if not treated, and the most at-risk groups were children and the local Inuit community. This is the story of how dogs and their drivers came to their rescue.
