Harnessed to your heart, giving their all...always

To sleep to sleep
The long bright day is done.
And darkness rises from the fall of the sun.
To sleep to sleep
Whatever the joys, they vanish with the day
Whatever the griefs, in sleep they fade away.
To sleep to sleep
Sleep mournful heart and let the past be past
Sleep happy soul
All life will sleep at last
To sleep to sleep

Doctors read sleep poems in low bass to children with diphtheria at a clinic in Nome, Alaska, sending them to sleep. Every life will eventually fall asleep, but it is always so sad to retreat in the middle of life. Hundreds of kilometers away, Seppala, the sled dog leader Togo and his companions are racing in the snowstorm of minus 70 degrees, racing against time and against viruses, sending life-saving serum to the children. The main line of the film Togo tells the story of the thrilling sled dog relay to deliver serum in 1925, and the protagonists Seppala and Togo, who are responsible for the 264-mile most difficult section. Although the process is difficult and dangerous, if it is to be made into a movie, the content is still too monotonous, so the director intersperses another sub-line: how the unremarkable Togo became the greatest sled dog leader. This is a half-breed husky who never knows how to get tired. He has been attracting the attention of the owner Seppala with his troublesome behavior, and eventually became the leader of the sled team. , has always been striven for by himself. If he is regarded as a human being, his life in full bloom is also an absolutely inspiring story.

I watched "The Story of Hachiko, a Loyal Dog" more than ten years ago. I was completely emotionally broken down and cried so hard. I don't know if I watched less movies at that time or what. Hachiko's loyalty and watchfulness hit me, although I didn't want that kind of soulmate, although not a human, but a dog. I'm rarely moved by watching Togo. Maybe it's because Disney's filming is not sensational, or it may be that there is only loyalty in Togo, and what really moves me is waiting, not loyalty.

And if you're lucky enough to have known a great one,
They never really leave.
They stay with you as long as you live.
Harnessed to your heart, listen to your heart
Giving their all…
Always. From start to finish

Lately I've been hesitating whether to wait until I'm out of work to get a small dog, like a corgi.
