"Twenty sled teams participated in the serum transportation in 1925. 19 teams ran an average of 50 kilometers, and one team ran 425 kilometers."

Togo Togo is the sled dog that led the race for 425 kilometers.

I couldn’t calm down for a long time after watching the movie. I still had Togo running in the snowy Alaska in my mind.

In 1925, in Alaska with its extremely harsh climate, an arduous but great task - transporting serum fell on the Alaskan mushers and sled dogs. They worked together to successfully save Alaska. For children in Nome, N.C., this national sensation became known as the "Great Race of Mercy."

This is not just a distance of 1,085 kilometers. The protagonist Asai, without knowing that there will be a relay, resolutely takes the lead dog Togo with his determination to run more than a thousand kilometers alone. On the journey.

They race against time and against death.

Crossing a river with unstable ice would save a whole day. Asai did not hesitate and Togo was not afraid.

They know each other too well.

Asai set out to save others,

while Togo only ran for Asai.

Their faith can overcome everything, perhaps even the God of Death, who was impressed by the perseverance of such a group of cross-species people running for love. Togo led Asai's sled team to successfully cross the cracked glacier.

The next day, the river had completely melted.

This is the first time to escape death.

A blizzard passed by, and Asai was almost frozen and unable to continue commanding. Togo braved the snow and acted as a warrior in the dark night and successfully delivered the team to the door of the inn.

This is the second time I have escaped death.

They are a team that has escaped from death.

The movie is constantly interspersed with the story of Togo's childhood 12 years ago. It turns out that Asai did not like this "pet dog" and thought it was a low-IQ, low-level loser that would disturb him. Class rules for well-trained sled dogs.

He couldn't keep him in the dog pen, so he locked Togo in the house. He could escape from the chimney.

He sent it away twice. Once, it smashed the window with its head and ran towards the place where Asai was. It would rather let the broken glass scratch its fur than to be imprisoned one day. It seemed that Running beside Asai is the whole meaning of Togo's life.

It was after that time that Asai finally realized that Togo was a unique dog, so Togo became a sled dog as he wished.

As he ran, he discovered that Togo was not satisfied with the position of an ordinary sled dog at all. His running speed was fully qualified for the position of the leading dog.

From that day on, Togo’s “career” of more than ten years began.

Back in 1925, after the sled team successfully completed their mission, 12-year-old Togo was already a seriously injured old dog, and everyone around him felt that he was about to leave. But even though he had expected it in his heart, he didn't want to hear anyone say this. He had been stubborn all his life, and so had his pet dog.

Asai is really interesting. It was he who scolded Togo for being incompetent and wanted to give him away, and it was he who unswervingly allowed the elderly Togo to continue to lead.

Although he seems to be contradictory, he is actually not contradictory at all. Like Togo, he will go all out when he is determined on something, even if it is seen as stubborn by others.

Towards the end of the film, Asai locked Togo at home after completing his mission. But when he saw Asai walking away in the wind and snow, how could Togo endure being without his companion? ?

Pushing the door lock like he did when he was a child, he ran away in the direction of Asai. He even took the first few steps to worry about his foot injury and limped. The camera flashed to more than ten years ago and then back to the present. , Togo ran to Asai desperately like a child again.

I couldn’t control my tears anymore.

"At first I thought Togo was born for sledding. Later I found out that he was born for me."

Fortunately, he finally understood more Brother, Togo doesn't know what it means to be first in a sled dog competition. He doesn't know the importance of serum. He only knows that it must be where the owner is.

Even if I spend my whole life, I will run to the distance where you are.
