Sapporo -
The tragic story of the ill-fated Japanese Polar expedition that due to unexpected weather conditions was forced to leave in Antarctica a team of fifteen sled dogs of the Sakhalin Husky breed, two of which survived a year of hunger and neglect.
The embalmed body of Taro is on display in a glass case at the Museum of National Treasures, Hokkaido University Botanical Garden, Sapporo. (Apologies for the reflections; 'Couldn't get the museum staff to open the glass case).
