Nicely told. Do any pictures of him exist? Just curious!

There is a picture on wiki, along with a synopsis of basically what I wrote.

Jim has a very special place at the Rainbow Bridge, along with all the countless lab animals who have served humankind. They still use horse serum for tetanus, AFAIK. They ask you if you have a horse allergy. (My dad was allergic to horses so he needed to get the egg-based shot.)

I saw a program on either Animal Planet or National Geographic recently, which reminded me of this story. As far as I remember it was a story about sledge dogs who went though snow and ice in freezing temperatures to deliver medicine to some kids... I found a link here:
