Frederick Roth

The statue of the sled dog Balto in New York City's Central Park is perhaps his most famous piece.

Roth was born in Brooklyn, New York, and briefly worked in his father's business.

The black Siberian Husky became famous during the 1925 serum run to Nome, which saved the children of the city from a diphtheria epidemic.

The statue is bronze, and is set on a large granite rock near the entrance of Central Park at East 67th Street, by the Tisch Children's Zoo.
