Plot Summary: In 1925, the town of Nome, Alaska was threatened by a deadly outbreak of diphtheria until one man and his team of sled dogs, led by the unlikely lead dog TOGO, braved the icy elements to retrieve medicine from the nearest city. This is the true story that Togo is based on. Norwegian immigrant Leonhard Seppala (Willem Dafoe) raises sled dogs but he's perpetually annoyed by the persistence of one pesky pup the man considers ill-equipped for sledding because of his small size. Seppala locks Togo up and tries twice to give him away, but Togo tunnels, climbs, and jumps his way out every time. Finally, urged on by his wife Constance (Julianne Nicholson), Seppala gives the dog a chance and finds him to be the fastest and most determined of his breed. Togo not only wins Seppala's heart but he also helps his master win sled races and ultimately helps save the people of Nome.- common sense media
