"BALTO" - by Frederick Roth
This life-sized sculpture of the famous dog Balto is New York's only statue commemorating a dog. Balto was a Siberian Husky who, in the Winter of 1925, led a dogsled team 650 miles through a terrible blizzard to get desperately needed medicine from Achorage to Nome, Alaska where there was a fatal diptheria epidemic. The children of New York love touching and petting this sculpture so much that areas of the nose, face and paws are worn and shiny.

Frederick Roth, the sculptor, was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1872. He studied sculpture in Europe and became New York's favorite animal sculptor of his time. He created many different types of animals in different materials and styles. Many of his sculptures can be seen in the Central Park Zoo and throughout Central Park, New York.
