The beginning of the story is a winter, a huge snowstorm is about to come ~ the children of the town contract a terrible disease - diphtheria, and urgently need immune serum to save their lives. Because of the special geographical location, weather conditions and the urgency of the event, this task could only be done by sled dogs at that time. So our protagonists Seppa and Togo appeared. The film adopts a dual storyline approach, as Seppa and Togo embark on their arduous task, day and night, while another line begins to intersperse memories of Togo's childhood.
Little Togo is really ugly, with a black face, like a monkey (covering his face manually). Although it is a little cute as a puppy, it is not of proper pedigree, short in stature, messy in color, and has some throat problems at birth. Although it is given extra favor and care by the hostess, Seppa, who is a sled dog trainer He doesn't look down on this dog at all, because in his eyes, a dog is not a friend, not a child, or an animal that works for him, and how could such a dog pull a sled. But although this puppy is ugly in appearance, his quirky intelligence and persistence are really not ordinary dogs. The male owner put the dog in the kennel when he was a child, and filled it with stones at the foot of the fence. Togo wanted to dig out the ground, but what he dug was the stone. The average dog would give up after trying it once or twice, but Togo didn't. Going a little farther, he dug a hole and escaped, leaving the dogs who wanted to imitate it to escape. The dog cage couldn't be closed, so the owner put it in the utility room and locked the door firmly. Little Togo turned around twice and saw the skylight on the roof, and quickly fled. The owner also sent it out twice, the first time the new owner thought it was too "demon" and sent it back, the second time Togo broke the window to escape, the glass even cut its body, after a long journey , went back to the owner, and this time, Seppa let it "temporarily" act as a sled dog. Unexpectedly, Togo performed very well on his first mission. He was born with leadership, ran fast and steady, and had explosive power. amazing! He became the leader of the entire sled team at once, and Seppa was madly surprised to discover that this is a genius dog, the leader of the dog team he has been looking for... When watching the film, I couldn't help it. With emotion, this dog can really run... This dog runs so fast... Why does this dog want to pull a sled so much! Later I found out that it was more than that.
Twelve years later, when the diphtheria incident broke out in the small town, Seppa was ordered to take Togo on the road. Although he is already a 12-year-old dog at this time, Seppa cannot do without Togo, the team leader, to complete this mission. His experience and innate qualities are irreplaceable. God knows what they have gone through on this journey! In the extremely cold environment of minus 30 degrees and cold winds above level 7, they ran for 264 miles (425 kilometers) all the way, encountering various dangers in the middle, and all of them were saved one by one. The serum was successfully transported back in 5 and a half days, saving the children's lives.
In this transportation, Togo showed his composure, loyalty, bravery and leadership, which is amazing! The first time, because Seppa took the wrong route, he almost took himself and the dogs into the cliff. On the edge of the cliff, the other dogs were all confused and crowded together. Seppa shouted Togo to come up, and it Struggling to bring the dogs up the ramp and away from the cliff, he injured his paws. The second time should be running on the cracked sea. During the whole mission, Seppa took Togo to run on the cracked sea twice, once and for all, because it would save a day. Time, after all this mission time is life! When we went, the dogs were running, and the ice cracked on the sides and behind. The sound was so loud that Togo heard the owner's shouts and encouragements echoing between the heavens and the earth, and firmly took the frightened dogs on the ice. Breaking through the siege on the face and going all the way forward, the scene is like a magnificent epic.... On the way back, Seppa still took this road. He was betting with heaven and earth that he and the dogs would be able to walk there alive. . The aerial camera perspective in the film allows us to see that the ice on the sea has already cracked like dry and cracked land. We can imagine the difficulty and fear they endured through it. When they were about to approach the shore, they succeeded immediately. It was found that the ice floes they were on were still some distance away from the shore, a distance that could not be crossed! Seppa made a quick decision, threw Togo to the opposite bank, and let it pull the ice cube carrying his master and a dozen friends over. Togo's brave spirit also inspired its little friends, and in the end they succeeded!
Togo returned home after completing the mission, with a lame leg, and everyone predicted that he might not live long. The owner also accepted this fact and did not take it with him when he left home for work again. At this time, Togo started its escape business again. Seeing his master leave it, it opened the door by itself, and ran again to catch up with the master with its legs crossed. From then on, Seppa really understood, and let the audience really understand that Togo is indeed a genius sled dog, but it is not inseparable from the sled, but inseparable from its beloved owner. He wants to be with the owner, even if he can't pull it. Sleigh. Later, Togo spent his later years peacefully in the company of Seppa and his wife, and became a glorious father, raising a lot of children with his excellent genes.
It's really emotional, why Seppa is so lucky to have a dog like Togo who loves him so much. I know that a lot of times, animals choose their owners, not the owners choose them, like Q in "Guide Dog Q" and Togo in this film. Seppa and Togo should be said to be mutual achievements. Togo is naturally extraordinary, but Seppa is also persevering and brave beyond ordinary people. Maybe they are born to work partners and close family members.
I like animals very much. I raised a Labrador in the first half of this year, but I abandoned it for various reasons. I still feel very sad when I think about it now. I want to make a sincere wish that if I am destined to have a dog, I am looking forward to it coming to me, I am waiting for it to finally come to me. ?
