The movie tells the story of the outbreak of diphtheria in Nome, Alaska. However, the city has no available vaccine reserves and can only be sent from other cities. However, due to the snow and ice weather, planes, cars, and ships cannot be used, and they can only rely on sled dogs to relay. So the well-trained and aged sled dog Togo and its owner took on the longest and most dangerous part of the relay race, and successfully got the vaccine to save the lives of sick children.

In the film, Togo was not favored by the owner as a sled dog at first, but was tried by the owner after he escaped from the kennel many times, showed an interest in pulling sleds, and showed a very high leadership talent and spirituality. Thus began his legendary working career.

At the end of the film, when Togo faces a crisis of near-death after completing a difficult task, its owner realizes that for Togo, pulling a sled is just a job, and Togo does not live for pulling a sled, but for him. and live. In the end, Togo had a happy ending with a death crisis and two years of retirement.

Although the storyline of the film is relatively simple, it is also touching. To a certain extent, the owner who lives with them day and night is the meaning of their life. Whether it is an animal or a human, if there is a memory, the feelings accumulated through time cannot be easily erased. That's why spending time with them is so precious. Time is the best gift!

In addition, the film also provides insight into the animal profession of sled dogs and how people survive in such treacherous weather conditions in the Arctic. Even now, with such advanced technology, the primitive instincts of animals are still indispensable. In addition, although sinister, nature is too beautiful. The world is really big!
