The structure of the film is clear, with the adventurous clips of difficult terrain and the rebellious clips of Togo's childhood intertwined. We can see the present tense of 12-year-old Togo, a well-trained lead dog who is extremely loyal to the male owner; we can also see the past of Togo 10 years ago. The male protagonist has given away many times.

Togo's dog team has experienced several crises, and each time it is closer to the pursuit of death. For the first time, the male protagonist took the wrong direction, and the dog team rushed to the edge of the sloping cliff, and stopped the car with difficulty and in time; Togo relied on his own brute force to pull the dog team back up the cliff. The second time, in order to shorten the journey time, the male protagonist took the dog team through the ice, and the ice cracked like whips around them and exploded; Crossed the ice safely. For the third time, the male protagonist took a risk and set foot on the ice surface of the strait. This time, not only were lightning-like ice cracks chasing them, but also the falling ice pieces were floating around them all the time; when the land was finally close at hand, but It was found that the ice floes could not touch the land, so Togo was thrown to the opposite bank, and he pulled the ice floes by himself and gradually approached the shore.

Togo is the hero of the dog team, but his glory grew out of his under-appreciated past. As a defective mixed-breed dog when he was young, because of the sympathy of the female protagonist, he was not shot to death by the male protagonist. It's a little longer, and he can't stay in the dog pen safely. He can always dig a hole and get out, and the angry male protagonist gritted his teeth. Not only does he love to drill out of the circle, but he also loves to mess with the dog team in training. Even if he is sent away, he can always break through the window and escape home. Until it became the lead dog of the male protagonist because of its running speed, it was not regarded as a troublemaker, a troublemaker, and a waste of time.

The hardships along the way did not make me cry, because they will surely succeed. But after the trip, Togo's stubbornness made me sad.

This tiring journey has left Togo devastated. His forefoot was broken, and he was slumped on the ground for many days. The male protagonist sees it, but he is not ready, Togo may not be able to hold on.

Life has to go on, work has to be maintained, and the dog team needs a new lead dog. When the new dog team went out for the first time, the male protagonist could only helplessly say to Togo, forgive me. His eyes were full of guilt and unbearable betrayal. Togo went from disbelieving at first, to whimpering after being hit, and then going out of the door regardless of the obstruction. It dragged the injured leg, running faster and stronger, until the injured leg broke free from the bandage, until it appeared again as the lead dog at the front of the line.

What is special about Togo is that it has its own ideas. When the other dogs stayed in the kennel, he dug a row of holes by himself, just to have fun getting out of the kennel. It is consciously alive.

The touching thing about Togo is that difficulties cannot defeat it. When it was locked in a wooden house and had nowhere to plan, it found the skylight above its head, jumped on the shelves one by one, kicked open the tool bottles one by one, and jumped out of the small window. When sent to someone else's house with no way out, it sprinted through the window glass and found its way home in blood. It knows what it wants, and it finds ways and solutions to get there. It is persistent and persistent.

The magic of Togo is that it has a sense of mission. It is his life's mission to become the leader dog. Even though he is physically and mentally exhausted and one leg is disabled, he still does not admit defeat, but struggles to stand at the forefront of the team again.

In the final analysis, It has the heart of a survivor.
