タロとジロの日，愛と希望と勇気の日
1959年のこの日、南極に置き去りにされた南極観測隊の2匹のカラフト犬・タロとジロの生存が確認された。
1956(昭和31)年の秋、南極観測船「宗谷」で11人の隊員が東京港を出発。15頭のカラフト犬も犬ぞり隊として参加した。1958(昭和33)年、第2次越冬隊を送り込む為再び「宗谷」は南極に向かったが、厚い氷にはばまれて断念。11人の越冬隊員はヘリコプターで救出されたが、15頭のカラフト犬は救出することができず、鎖につないだまま氷原に置き去りにされた。翌1959(昭和34)年のこの日、ヘリコプターが2頭の生存を確認した。南極から打電されたこのニュースは、世界を愛と希望と勇気の感動で包んだ。
ジロは南極で死亡したが、タロは5年後に日本に生還して北海道で余生を過ごした

14 January is for Taro and Jiro!!
Taro and Jiro were the youngest of sled dogs of the first Japanese expedition to Antarctica. The dogs were Sakhalin huskies, known in Japan as Karafuto-ken.
The first team, were to be replaced by another team in February 1958, but, before the second team could arrive a strong and unexpected storm approached causing the first team to be evacuated by helicopter and the second team to be suspended.
Unfortunately, the dogs had to be left behind. After 1 year the expedition returned to the base in Antarctica. The men were expecting to find the dogs dead but Taro and Jiro, were found alive near the base. They were able to survive the 11 months in extreme conditions without human support, and apparently did not resort to eating the bodies of their fellow dogs.
