born leader

Raising a dog is a memory from a long time ago. I only remember that he had accompanied me for a short period of time in elementary school. In junior high school, because of commuting, when I went to school before dawn in the early morning, I encountered a few vicious dogs and were chased all the way. But I don't hate dogs, on the contrary, I am very eager to have a dog of my own in the near future, just like Togo.

Movies about dogs always move me, and I have seen "The Story of Hachiko" and "A Dog's Mission" before, which seemed to bring me to tears. "Togo" is not a particularly emotional story, and the director is more restrained in this regard. The episodes of getting along with the male protagonist are even more attractive than the road to rescue.

Like many people who are destined to be extraordinary in life, Togo is not an ordinary dog. He is short in stature, frail, and disobedient. He often becomes a troublemaker during his master's working hours. He is considered to be a weakling with multiple defects. Experience Rich Seppal doesn't think he can be a sled dog.

But Togo also has an unusual side. He is full of energy and runs all day long; he perseveres, and when other dogs give up because of no results, he can continue to dig one after another. , until he succeeded; he was gifted and intelligent, able to find an exit in a closed room; he was a natural lead dog, with great speed and charisma.

At first, Seppala felt that the sled dog's profession was to work for humans, and he should not have feelings for them, let alone be allowed to enter the bedroom. But after Togo's talent and perseverance were discovered, he became Seppala's favorite sled dog. He has been with him for 12 years, won the sled race championship, and made great contributions to saving the lives of the children in Nome, which is really respectable. The scene where Seppala inspires the sled dogs with Henry V's famous quote on the ice sea is really heart-warming: We few, we happy few, we band of champions. Now run my pups. Run.
