In 2014, a powerful story of survival, loyalty, and love captured hearts around the world. Its heroine was a three-year-old Russian girl named Karina Chikitova, who became lost in the vast wilderness of Siberia’s Sakha Republic. Unbeknownst to her family, Karina had followed her father into the forest, accompanied only by her loyal dog, Naida. Days passed before her disappearance was noticed, and by then, she was already deep within a harsh and unforgiving landscape.

As search teams scoured the dense forests, braving cold nights and the threat of wild animals, hope began to fade. Yet, unknown to everyone, little Karina was being protected every step of the way by Naida. The dog stayed by her side, offering warmth through freezing nights and guarding her in the silence of the wild. After several days, Naida made a daring decision—she left Karina and returned to the village alone. While many feared the worst, her return proved to be the turning point.

Thanks to Naida, rescuers were able to track her steps and, after eleven harrowing days, found Karina alive—exhausted but miraculously safe—hidden in a field of tall grass. She had survived by eating berries, drinking river water, and clinging to the warmth her dog had once given. The bond between Karina and Naida became a symbol of unwavering loyalty and silent heroism. More than a rescue tale, it reminded the world of the deep, unspoken love that can exist between a child and a devoted animal—making Naida not just a dog, but a four-legged angel.

In the dead of winter, January 1925, a terrifying diphtheria outbreak struck the remote town of Nome, Alaska. The lives of hundreds—especially children—hung in the balance. The nearest supply of antitoxin serum? Over 500 miles away in Anchorage. Planes couldn’t fly. Ships were frozen in harbor. Roads didn’t reach that far.
So they turned to dogs.
More than 20 mushers and their teams of sled dogs braved one of the harshest Arctic winters on record, forming a relay through snow, ice, and -30°F temperatures to deliver the medicine. It was a desperate race against time—facing whiteout blizzards, frozen rivers, and deadly winds.
One dog, Togo, ran the longest and most treacherous leg—over 260 miles—through razor-thin ice and brutal storms. But it was Balto, leading the final team, who carried the serum into Nome. By the time they arrived, frostbitten and staggering, the whole nation was watching.
Balto became a national hero, honored with a statue in New York’s Central Park. But every dog who ran mattered. Together, they saved a town—not with speed, but with courage, loyalty, and the kind of determination only found in fur and frost.
They called it the Great Race of Mercy. And nearly a century later, their pawprints are still remembered.
