[NAGDU] Belto, dog name

[Jordan Gallacher]

I am not sure who named him, but we think that it was supposed to be Balto,
but somewhere it was misspelled, and thus Belto is what his name came to be.

Hi Jordan.

I'm curious about Belto's name.  It was my understanding that Leader leaves
the dog's name to the raiser family, so they often have regular dog names
like Max or Shadow.  So did Belto's family choose his name?  And did they
tell you why?  Or does Leader make up names now?  Just sounds like a name
with a story.

 

If anyone is interested, Krokus is named for Dick Krokus, director of
training at TSE for years a while back.  Everyone on the TSE staff who'd
known Mr. Krokus told me I would have a special boy, because he has a
special name.  I'm not so sure about that, but my Krokus has a mischievous
sense of humor, and I gather Mr. Krokus did, too.

Tracy
