Seppala continues on for miles taking a dangerous shortcut across the melting Norton Sound to save a day's sledding. Seppala and his team tread through stormy weather and take a break at an outpost where a local doctor named Atiqtalik tells him that Togo is tired. Constance becomes concerned and says the journey will kill the dog, but Seppala insists on going, and tells her that without Togo leading the team, he himself would be unlikely to survive. Eventually, Seppala is convinced to collect the serum and race back, and decides to take Togo despite the dog's age (Togo is 12, which is old for a dog). A meeting by town officials hears that air delivery is impossible due to the weather, and concludes that only Seppala has the skill to drive the 600 mile journey in such weather to collect the antitoxin. Mayor George Maynard plans to have the serum flown in from Nenana, but this proves to be impossible due to the severity of the weather. In 1925, a diphtheria outbreak occurs in Nome mostly affecting children. He fully trains Togo to the point where he successfully wins the All Alaska Sweepstakes, earning both Togo and himself some local fame. He decides to call him Togo, after another underdog, Japanese admiral Tōgō Heihachirō. He realizes the puppy has the potential to be a future champion. Seppala gives up and allows him to run with the others where, to his astonishment, he discovers that he is energetic enough to outrun the other dogs, and a natural leader of the dog team. After trying to get rid of the Husky twice, the young dog escapes by crashing through a window pane and again returns to find the other dogs training. He constantly escapes when left in the kennel, and seeks out Seppala's dog team, causing great disruption to Seppala's training routine. The young dog turns out to be close to unmanageable, and refuses to stay at home when the other dogs are working. While Seppala insists on immediately retiring him due to his small and weak state, Constance is strongly supportive of the puppy. In 1913, Seppala and his wife Constance welcome a newborn Siberian Husky puppy to their sledding dog pack in Nome, Alaska. The film flashes between musher Leonhard Seppala raising his dog Togo and the 1925 serum run to Nome. The movie received generally positive reviews from critics.
