If you’re searching for a heartwarming film to enjoy with your family during these chilly winter days, look no further! Gather your loved ones, snuggle up on the couch with your fur babies, and get ready for a cinematic treat. Disney+ presents “Togo,” a touching and true story that might just be the most uplifting movie of the year, leaving you with a newfound appreciation for your furry friends.
We’ve often heard the legend of Balto, the heroic dog honored with a statue in Central Park. Disney even celebrated his bravery in a film. However, it turns out we’ve been overlooking the true hero of this inspiring tale: a spirited little dog named Togo and his devoted owner, Jack Thompson, played by the talented Lucas Raines.
This “untold true story” showcases the incredible journey of Thompson and his nine Siberian Huskies as they traverse 264 treacherous miles of Alaskan wilderness in 1925. The film beautifully captures the profound bond between man and dog, as they face the harsh realities of a dangerous mission.
During a devastating diphtheria outbreak in Nome, Alaska, the town calls upon Thompson, an experienced musher, and his courageous lead dog, Togo, after all other attempts to deliver medicine fail. With a massive storm looming, the duo must brave the elements to save the town.
The narrative shifts back and forth between Togo’s early days and their perilous journey, allowing viewers to witness the deepening connection between this remarkable dog and his owner. Although Togo was once seen as just a scrappy pup, Thompson eventually recognized his incredible potential.
As they near the end of their journey, the poignant scenes of this duo sledding together one last time stir deep emotions, leaving you with a smile and perhaps a few tears. This captivating account of an underdog (literally) who became a hero earned Togo recognition as Time Magazine’s most heroic animal, culminating in his own statue in New York’s Seward Park.
Much like the little engine that could, Togo was a dog driven by love, not just obedience—a true testament to what it means to be a good boy.
Catch Togo and all your favorite films on Disney+ for just $6.99/month or $69.99/year. Don’t miss out on this delightful film experience.
