Wait for me!
Since everyone and their mom was drawing Ryland Grace and Laika I decided to draw some KF characters with some other animal heroes
The sled dogs are just a few of the dogs who mushed in the 1925 Diphtheria Serum Run in Nome, Alaska. A small town in the middle of nowhere came down with a nasty outbreak of the disease and their doctor’s antitoxin was expired. Due to horrific winter conditions, the town’s only hope was to send a relay team of dogs and their mushers to retrieve fresh antitoxin across the state and then go back again to bring it to them.
The little pigeon is meant to be Cher Ami, a pigeon who served in WW1. He’s credited with delivering a distress message sent from the Lost Battalion, a group of soldiers who had gotten stuck behind enemy lines, to the rest of their army, taking a bullet and losing a leg but continuing to fly until he landed at his destination. Unfortunately, while Cher Ami did lose a leg and did deliver many messages across active battlefields, the evidence he delivered any message from the Lost Battalion to call their army to aid is scarce. But I still wanted to include him because I love pigeons and he still saved many people.
GOOOO
