Togo
A great story of a remarkable dog called Togo.
Leonhard Seppala: What does he bring to the breed?
Constance Seppala: The heart of a survivor.
Togo
Togo was believed to be too small for a sled dog. When he was about six months old, Seppala almost gave him away. Yet, he jumped through the glass of a closed window just to run back to Seppala.
This movie combines a true story about courage and a 12 years old dog. He and his team ran over 260 miles with Seppala through terrible weather to bring serum when diphtheria was raging in Alaska. A team that travelled through the night with terrible winds and nearly zero visibility.
However, in my opinion, every musher should be praised for their contribution in that run. Thinking that one of them would have failed, the serum would not have made it to its destination.
A heartwarming story and a movie about dedication, loyalty and friendship, about the real bond between man and dog.
If you were lucky enough to know a great one, they never really leave. They stay with you as long as you live. Harnessed to your heart, giving their all.
Togo
Love,
Manuela
