In 1925, there was a sudden outbreak of diphtheria in Nome, near the Arctic Circle. This disease belongs to an acute respiratory infectious disease. Once sick, the patient may lead to myocarditis, paralysis or even life-threatening due to complications. If you want to be cured, you have to inject diphtheria vaccine, but the winter in the town is frozen and traffic is stopped, which is undoubtedly a worse situation. In order to rescue the residents of Nome, the local authorities decided to deliver vaccines by dog ​​sled, so this polar mission of a race against time and life began. Togo and its owner survived three near misses during the expedition. On the way for the first expedition, on the way over the mountain and downhill, a cliff was regarded as a continuous slope. When Togo found out and tried to stop, the running speed could not be stopped because of the steep slope. The seasoned Sepala's immediate response saved the entire bobsled team. But Togo was also injured, but despite this, to save time, Separa decided to cross the unreliable ice. This time, the ice surface cracked, and there was no danger. In fact, it left a foreshadowing for the return journey. The second escape was man-made. The mayor decided to arrange a relay, and Sepala, who was on his way, did not know that his destination had changed. During his long run, he almost passed the relay Herry. At this time, Togo was already in poor condition, and Sepala, who was on his way home, still chose to cross the ice surface in order to shorten the time of the day. At this time, the ice surface was scattered, cracked, and slanted. Togo needed to find a way to survive. Togo was deterred by the last distance before going ashore. Sepala threw Togo to the opposite bank. The force of a dog to drag Hard to imagine. Their incredible success brought tears to my eyes. The third time, the heavy snow made Sepala unable to identify the road ahead, and it was all placed on Togo. When Sepala thought Togo was exhausted and gave up, it turned out that Togo had taken them to their destination.

    Born a dog who is not considered a sled dog and is regarded as mentally handicapped, he has completed the most famous miracle of sled dogs relaying serums in history... The movies between dogs and humans feel short in length, watching the animal actors excelling in the movie. The progression of the plot is really a highlight: "If you are lucky enough to have a good dog, it will never leave; it will accompany you for the rest of your life, obey your heart and dedicate everything to it, from start to finish..."

    I'm crying to death. Dare to ask if this film is really not introduced? If God loves a person, he will definitely give him a good dog in his lifetime, and let the dog teach him the strokes and writing of the word "love". Togo’s body undoubtedly embodies the word "Natural Selection". It is the leading dog chosen by God himself, driving on the ice field with a fateful will, not afraid of storms, regardless of safety, and must stand at all times. At the forefront of the team, the mission must be reached at any moment, because "it has the heart of a survivor." I originally wanted to say how humans are worthy of such a good dog. But the humans in this film also show the tenacity, courage and affection that are not inferior to dogs. Another: the magnificent scenery, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting, beautiful. Anyone who raises a dog and loves a dog will look wow!
