- [wind howling]
- 2
- 00:01:50,276 --> 00:01:52,446
- Haw, Togo! Haw! Haw!
- 3
- 00:01:55,657 --> 00:01:57,827
- Good dog! Good dog!
- 4
- 00:02:04,791 --> 00:02:05,791
- Leave it!
- 5
- 00:02:08,586 --> 00:02:10,296
- [barking]
- 6
- 00:02:11,965 --> 00:02:13,675
- Leave it alone!
- 7
- 00:02:20,223 --> 00:02:22,313
- [thunder rumbling]
- 8
- 00:02:30,358 --> 00:02:31,358
- Good dog.
- 9
- 00:02:42,078 --> 00:02:43,198
- Well done, Togo!
- 10
- 00:02:44,164 --> 00:02:45,174
- Well done, all!
- 11
- 00:02:45,749 --> 00:02:48,629
- There'll be full bellies
- and warm beds tonight.
- 12
- 00:02:48,710 --> 00:02:51,050
- [barking]
- 13
- 00:02:51,129 --> 00:02:54,049
- All right, Togo! Hike!
- 14
- 00:03:21,826 --> 00:03:24,786
- Whoa!
- 15
- 00:03:28,041 --> 00:03:29,961
- [man] There's been a diphtheria outbreak.
- 16
- 00:03:30,043 --> 00:03:31,043
- How long?
- 17
- 00:03:31,127 --> 00:03:33,167
- - More than a week.
- - Constance?
- 18
- 00:03:33,254 --> 00:03:34,264
- Fine. She's fine.
- 19
- 00:03:35,173 --> 00:03:36,383
- It's mostly children.
- 20
- 00:03:37,384 --> 00:03:38,394
- Five have died.
- 21
- 00:03:39,010 --> 00:03:40,140
- Bless them.
- 22
- 00:03:40,220 --> 00:03:41,930
- Twenty more sick here in Nome.
- 23
- 00:03:42,639 --> 00:03:44,929
- And no telling how many
- in the Inuit villages.
- 24
- 00:03:46,059 --> 00:03:47,769
- They found serum in Fairbanks.
- 25
- 00:03:47,852 --> 00:03:50,612
- They just don't know how
- to get it from there to here.
- 26
- 00:03:53,149 --> 00:03:56,649
- Anyway, everybody's at Dexter's,
- and they're asking for you.
- 27
- 00:04:00,949 --> 00:04:02,119
- Hike!
- 28
- 00:04:04,369 --> 00:04:06,829
- [man] What we have in our children
- is an epidemic.
- 29
- 00:04:07,956 --> 00:04:10,746
- And without antitoxin,
- it's a death sentence to most,
- 30
- 00:04:10,834 --> 00:04:12,174
- if not all those infected.
- 31
- 00:04:12,252 --> 00:04:14,922
- [people murmuring]
- 32
- 00:04:15,005 --> 00:04:16,165
- The good news is,
- 33
- 00:04:16,256 --> 00:04:19,756
- they've located antitoxin
- at the Fairbanks Railroad Hospital,
- 34
- 00:04:20,260 --> 00:04:23,430
- and they're ready
- to put it on the next train to Nenana.
- 35
- 00:04:23,513 --> 00:04:26,143
- A round trip from here to Nenana
- is still 600 miles.
- 36
- 00:04:26,224 --> 00:04:30,524
- They have aeroplanes in Fairbanks,
- and we could fly it here.
- 37
- 00:04:30,603 --> 00:04:32,748
- Did you see those clouds on the horizon
- when you came over?
- 38
- 00:04:32,772 --> 00:04:35,402
- Of course I did,
- but maybe it's not as bad as it looks.
- 39
- 00:04:37,569 --> 00:04:40,659
- Seppala, you were out there.
- What do you think?
- 40
- 00:04:41,823 --> 00:04:42,993
- It's going to be bad.
- 41
- 00:04:44,743 --> 00:04:45,913
- How bad?
- 42
- 00:04:46,494 --> 00:04:48,004
- Memorable, I think.
- 43
- 00:04:48,788 --> 00:04:49,998
- What makes you think?
- 44
- 00:04:50,457 --> 00:04:52,577
- Well, it looks biblical enough,
- 45
- 00:04:52,667 --> 00:04:56,797
- and the barometer's falling
- in a pretty disturbing way but...
- 46
- 00:04:57,922 --> 00:04:59,012
- But what?
- 47
- 00:04:59,716 --> 00:05:01,626
- We came up on caribou this morning.
- 48
- 00:05:01,718 --> 00:05:04,548
- About 200 yards to our right, he saw them.
- 49
- 00:05:04,637 --> 00:05:08,767
- My foot was ready on the brake,
- and he ignored them and kept running.
- 50
- 00:05:09,684 --> 00:05:12,524
- That's when I knew this storm was special.
- 51
- 00:05:13,313 --> 00:05:15,153
- I'm sorry, I don't understand.
- 52
- 00:05:15,231 --> 00:05:17,441
- Togo's a caribou chaser of some renown.
- 53
- 00:05:18,109 --> 00:05:19,859
- I still don't understand.
- 54
- 00:05:19,944 --> 00:05:23,374
- Never in 12 years
- had he not at least turned for them.
- 55
- 00:05:24,115 --> 00:05:26,485
- When an animal denies his nature
- 56
- 00:05:26,576 --> 00:05:29,326
- and runs for the barn
- because he fears the storm...
- 57
- 00:05:29,954 --> 00:05:31,834
- man better fear the storm.
- 58
- 00:05:33,583 --> 00:05:34,673
- I see.
- 59
- 00:05:34,751 --> 00:05:37,801
- In a storm like this,
- how quickly could you get there and back?
- 60
- 00:05:37,879 --> 00:05:39,299
- Not "how quickly,"
- 61
- 00:05:39,381 --> 00:05:40,381
- "if."
- 62
- 00:05:40,465 --> 00:05:41,795
- [scattered groans]
- 63
- 00:05:41,883 --> 00:05:43,223
- Then I say aeroplane.
- 64
- 00:05:44,427 --> 00:05:45,847
- Open cockpit aeroplane?
- 65
- 00:05:47,347 --> 00:05:50,137
- Water-cooled engines?
- Did you call that airfield in Fairbanks?
- 66
- 00:05:50,225 --> 00:05:51,555
- They're making an assessment.
- 67
- 00:05:51,643 --> 00:05:52,733
- I'll bet they are.
- 68
- 00:05:53,603 --> 00:05:55,483
- I seriously don't think
- flying's an option.
- 69
- 00:05:56,898 --> 00:05:58,818
- But, in answer to your question,
- "how quick?"
- 70
- 00:05:59,651 --> 00:06:02,401
- Seppala once ran for me,
- all the way to Nenana, in four days.
- 71
- 00:06:04,072 --> 00:06:05,992
- For factual reference only.
- 72
- 00:06:06,074 --> 00:06:08,794
- Personally I never cared
- for the notion that sled dogs
- 73
- 00:06:08,868 --> 00:06:10,618
- should be replaced by machines,
- 74
- 00:06:11,246 --> 00:06:14,076
- but today I'm a champion of progress.
- 75
- 00:06:17,669 --> 00:06:18,799
- Come on, pup.
- 76
- 00:06:25,176 --> 00:06:27,796
- [indistinct]
- 77
- 00:06:27,887 --> 00:06:30,137
- [thunder rumbling]
- 78
- 00:06:42,277 --> 00:06:45,107
- Seppala, you going by the hospital?
- 79
- 00:06:46,114 --> 00:06:47,124
- Climb on.
- 80
- 00:06:52,871 --> 00:06:53,871
- Hike!
- 81
- 00:07:06,009 --> 00:07:07,719
- [Seppala] Whoa! Whoa!
- 82
- 00:07:14,601 --> 00:07:15,601
- Much obliged.
- 83
- 00:07:19,731 --> 00:07:20,821
- Good luck, doctor.
- 84
- 00:07:25,528 --> 00:07:29,488
- Towns are, uh,
- usually founded by topography...
- 85
- 00:07:30,617 --> 00:07:33,037
- proximity to roads and rivers.
- 86
- 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,250
- Nome was founded by luck.
- 87
- 00:07:38,291 --> 00:07:39,711
- The gold at Anvil Creek?
- 88
- 00:07:40,835 --> 00:07:42,455
- You could see it with your naked eye,
- 89
- 00:07:43,380 --> 00:07:45,550
- pick it up with your fingers
- from the sand.
- 90
- 00:07:47,634 --> 00:07:49,514
- Gold dries up.
- 91
- 00:07:50,804 --> 00:07:52,104
- Luck dries up.
- 92
- 00:08:04,109 --> 00:08:06,189
- [dogs whining]
- 93
- 00:08:09,030 --> 00:08:10,370
- [door closes]
- 94
- 00:08:23,169 --> 00:08:26,259
- - [children coughing]
- - [babies crying]
- 95
- 00:08:32,971 --> 00:08:34,811
- [nurse speaking indistinctly]
- 96
- 00:08:44,649 --> 00:08:48,859
- - [crying continues]
- - [coughing continues]
- 97
- 00:08:48,945 --> 00:08:51,195
- [dogs barking]
- 98
- 00:09:00,457 --> 00:09:03,167
- [barking continues]
- 99
- 00:09:11,217 --> 00:09:14,217
- [door opens, closes]
- 100
- 00:09:17,432 --> 00:09:18,932
- Where does he find the energy?
- 101
- 00:09:19,267 --> 00:09:21,977
- By his reckoning,
- he's still ten weeks old.
- 102
- 00:09:22,062 --> 00:09:23,232
- [Constance chuckles]
- 103
- 00:09:33,573 --> 00:09:34,573
- So, you'll go?
- 104
- 00:09:35,241 --> 00:09:38,871
- I just got home.
- You're anxious to be rid of me?
- 105
- 00:09:38,953 --> 00:09:40,253
- Hmm. Could be.
- 106
- 00:09:40,330 --> 00:09:43,290
- Have reason for me to be gone, do you?
- 107
- 00:09:43,375 --> 00:09:44,825
- - I have lovers.
- - Ah?
- 108
- 00:09:44,918 --> 00:09:46,168
- Too many to count.
- 109
- 00:09:46,252 --> 00:09:48,302
- - I have no one but myself to blame.
- - [chuckles]
- 110
- 00:09:48,797 --> 00:09:52,377
- I was warned
- not to marry someone so beautiful.
- 111
- 00:09:52,467 --> 00:09:53,797
- Warned by whom?
- 112
- 00:09:54,719 --> 00:09:56,139
- Everyone with eyesight.
- 113
- 00:10:01,059 --> 00:10:02,229
- So, you will go?
- 114
- 00:10:03,812 --> 00:10:05,612
- I have no such inclination.
- 115
- 00:10:05,689 --> 00:10:07,519
- Then why are you waxing sled runners?
- 116
- 00:10:10,318 --> 00:10:11,488
- They need wax.
- 117
- 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,880
- [Constance]
- Can it even be done in this weather?
- 118
- 00:10:27,252 --> 00:10:28,462
- Anything can be done.
- 119
- 00:10:28,545 --> 00:10:30,625
- Well, let them choose
- someone else for once.
- 120
- 00:10:31,381 --> 00:10:33,511
- - The room was full of mushers.
- - Right.
- 121
- 00:10:33,591 --> 00:10:35,431
- But it's always my husband they come for.
- 122
- 00:10:36,511 --> 00:10:38,301
- Pick someone with more at stake in this.
- 123
- 00:10:41,307 --> 00:10:45,187
- I stopped at the hospital.
- All those children, we know them.
- 124
- 00:10:45,854 --> 00:10:47,024
- I know.
- 125
- 00:10:47,105 --> 00:10:51,065
- That little girl that lives next to Mallon
- and always runs out to pet the dogs.
- 126
- 00:10:51,151 --> 00:10:54,491
- Sally, who pets everyone's dogs,
- not just yours.
- 127
- 00:10:56,156 --> 00:10:58,316
- We know those children.
- We know their parents.
- 128
- 00:10:58,867 --> 00:11:02,197
- I understand this.
- And tomorrow I'll be ashamed.
- 129
- 00:11:02,287 --> 00:11:04,327
- But right now, I'm sorry, I'm afraid.
- 130
- 00:11:06,958 --> 00:11:10,048
- It's not the first storm to hit Alaska.
- 131
- 00:11:10,128 --> 00:11:11,418
- Don't patronize me.
- 132
- 00:11:14,924 --> 00:11:16,014
- You're right.
- 133
- 00:11:45,622 --> 00:11:47,962
- Don't take Togo. Fritz could lead.
- 134
- 00:11:48,041 --> 00:11:50,131
- I'll cross that bridge when and if.
- 135
- 00:11:50,210 --> 00:11:52,800
- He's 12 years old.
- You said he's too old to go to Elwald,
- 136
- 00:11:52,879 --> 00:11:54,959
- and that isn't even
- a quarter of this distance.
- 137
- 00:11:55,048 --> 00:11:56,798
- You're upsetting yourself for nothing.
- 138
- 00:11:57,592 --> 00:11:59,012
- Let's go to sleep.
- 139
- 00:12:10,188 --> 00:12:12,748
- I must say this before you make a decision
- you'll forever regret.
- 140
- 00:12:14,943 --> 00:12:18,573
- You're more attached to him than you know,
- and you're about to run him to his death.
- 141
- 00:12:19,030 --> 00:12:22,620
- And you're not prepared for what
- it's going to do to you, I promise you.
- 142
- 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:25,250
- Is that all?
- 143
- 00:12:26,705 --> 00:12:30,165
- He is, of course, your dog,
- and a working dog.
- 144
- 00:12:30,250 --> 00:12:33,250
- And, were I more pragmatic,
- I wouldn't love him, but I do.
- 145
- 00:12:34,087 --> 00:12:39,177
- And I'm just so heartsick
- that these are my last hours with him.
- 146
- 00:12:40,051 --> 00:12:41,141
- Two things.
- 147
- 00:12:42,637 --> 00:12:48,097
- One: if I were to try for Nenana
- in these conditions without him,
- 148
- 00:12:48,184 --> 00:12:51,234
- these would be your last hours with me.
- 149
- 00:12:51,312 --> 00:12:56,532
- And two: at this hour, nothing's decided.
- 150
- 00:12:57,110 --> 00:12:58,430
- - [pounding on door]
- - [dog barks]
- 151
- 00:13:01,698 --> 00:13:02,818
- You were saying?
- 152
- 00:13:09,247 --> 00:13:10,247
- George?
- 153
- 00:13:10,874 --> 00:13:12,674
- - [wind howling]
- - Evening, George.
- 154
- 00:13:12,751 --> 00:13:14,961
- [chuckles]
- It appears your forecast is correct,
- 155
- 00:13:15,420 --> 00:13:17,300
- if my journey out here is any evidence.
- 156
- 00:13:19,549 --> 00:13:22,549
- The wind almost stopped me dead
- a couple times.
- 157
- 00:13:24,387 --> 00:13:29,347
- Oh, I... I talked with Fairbanks.
- There will be no airborne rescue of Nome.
- 158
- 00:13:30,643 --> 00:13:36,523
- So, the time of the dog,
- not only continues, it's at hand.
- 159
- 00:13:36,608 --> 00:13:39,438
- So, you felt the need to come
- all the way out here to share this news?
- 160
- 00:13:39,527 --> 00:13:41,357
- Some things you need to say
- to a man's face,
- 161
- 00:13:41,446 --> 00:13:42,816
- isn't that right, Mr. Mayor?
- 162
- 00:13:44,199 --> 00:13:45,199
- Yeah.
- 163
- 00:13:46,159 --> 00:13:47,289
- Coffee or whiskey?
- 164
- 00:13:47,911 --> 00:13:50,211
- Whiskey. If it's no trouble.
- 165
- 00:13:50,288 --> 00:13:53,248
- No. No trouble. I'm having both.
- 166

- 00:47:47,117 --> 00:47:49,367
- and I'll fix you a nice beef steak
- for your lunch.
- 508
- 00:47:53,957 --> 00:47:55,497
- Oh, no! No. No!
- 509
- 00:48:13,893 --> 00:48:15,603
- Hike! Hike!
- 510
- 00:48:19,232 --> 00:48:20,482
- [dog barks]
- 511
- 00:48:20,567 --> 00:48:21,567
- Whoa!
- 512
- 00:48:22,485 --> 00:48:23,855
- [dog barking]
- 513
- 00:48:44,299 --> 00:48:46,839
- [dogs barking]
- 514
- 00:48:55,352 --> 00:48:56,602
- Whoa!
- 515
- 00:49:08,156 --> 00:49:09,156
- Hey!
- 516
- 00:49:10,492 --> 00:49:13,202
- Every predator for miles
- smells that blood.
- 517
- 00:49:13,995 --> 00:49:15,285
- I'm trying to save your life.
- 518
- 00:49:16,331 --> 00:49:18,291
- Okay, Russky, come with me.
- 519
- 00:49:19,250 --> 00:49:21,750
- Come on, up. Up.
- 520
- 00:49:24,339 --> 00:49:25,339
- Good dog.
- 521
- 00:49:27,217 --> 00:49:29,757
- Oh, no. Don't even think about it.
- 522
- 00:49:37,811 --> 00:49:40,941
- All right. Last row for you.
- 523
- 00:49:44,067 --> 00:49:50,447
- Meet Ilsa. Try something with her
- and I promise you, you'll regret it.
- 524
- 00:49:53,868 --> 00:49:56,658
- [Ilsa growling]
- 525
- 00:50:12,971 --> 00:50:14,721
- All right, hike!
- 526
- 00:50:50,008 --> 00:50:52,888
- Well, you outran Ilsa.
- Let's see how you do on point.
- 527
- 00:50:54,971 --> 00:50:55,971
- Good.
- 528
- 00:50:57,682 --> 00:50:58,732
- Come on.
- 529
- 00:51:02,062 --> 00:51:03,312
- Good dog, Jens.
- 530
- 00:51:05,899 --> 00:51:06,939
- [Ilsa growling]
- 531
- 00:51:08,985 --> 00:51:11,445
- [whining]
- 532
- 00:51:19,537 --> 00:51:20,997
- [Togo yelping]
- 533
- 00:51:58,284 --> 00:51:59,374
- Haw!
- 534
- 00:52:10,380 --> 00:52:11,800
- Good pups.
- 535
- 00:52:33,486 --> 00:52:36,106
- [dogs barking]
- 536
- 00:52:47,959 --> 00:52:51,669
- Good dogs! Good dogs! Good dogs!
- 537
- 00:53:02,098 --> 00:53:05,058
- Whoa!
- 538
- 00:53:05,143 --> 00:53:07,443
- It's the most extraordinary thing
- I've ever seen.
- 539
- 00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:09,610
- He's not a sled dog, he's a lead dog.
- 540
- 00:53:09,689 --> 00:53:12,479
- You should have seen him.
- He outran every single one of them.
- 541
- 00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:16,860
- - He's magnificent. A future champion.
- - There's blood.
- 542
- 00:53:16,946 --> 00:53:20,906
- You were right.
- He's got the heart of a survivor.
- 543
- 00:53:22,869 --> 00:53:24,999
- I'm going to name him Togo.
- 544
- 00:53:25,789 --> 00:53:29,919
- After the admiral.
- An underdog named for an underdog.
- 545
- 00:53:31,211 --> 00:53:32,301
- It's fitting.
- 546
- 00:53:35,799 --> 00:53:36,929
- [Seppala chuckles]
- 547
- 00:53:44,641 --> 00:53:47,561
- Honey! Come here, please?
- 548
- 00:53:52,148 --> 00:53:54,438
- Come. Step around him, he won't move.
- 549
- 00:53:54,526 --> 00:53:57,736
- - I have things to do.
- - Over here. Next to me.
- 550
- 00:53:58,697 --> 00:53:59,697
- Please.
- 551
- 00:54:07,330 --> 00:54:10,920
- Okay, now, call him.
- Ask him to come into the bedroom.
- 552
- 00:54:11,793 --> 00:54:12,793
- Do it.
- 553
- 00:54:14,087 --> 00:54:15,167
- Togo, come.
- 554
- 00:54:15,797 --> 00:54:16,837
- Again.
- 555
- 00:54:16,923 --> 00:54:20,013
- - [scoffs] This isn't fair.
- - Of course it is. Again, more demanding.
- 556
- 00:54:21,636 --> 00:54:24,506
- Togo, you come in this room!
- 557
- 00:54:24,597 --> 00:54:26,977
- My husband is trying to prove
- a point of some kind.
- 558
- 00:54:28,143 --> 00:54:30,443
- No dogs in the bedroom.
- 559
- 00:54:31,646 --> 00:54:33,816
- Good boy, Togo. Good boy.
- 560
- 00:54:34,357 --> 00:54:36,647
- Outstanding!
- 561
- 00:54:37,736 --> 00:54:38,736
- Good dog.
- 562
- 00:54:39,446 --> 00:54:41,549
- [man] I don't care what the governor says,
- he's wrong.
- 563
- 00:54:41,573 --> 00:54:44,083
- Irrespective of how you feel, Jafet...
- 564
- 00:54:44,159 --> 00:54:45,579
- Well, Mrs. Seppala.
- 565
- 00:54:45,660 --> 00:54:48,660
- Any musher would be lucky
- to survive 30 miles in this weather.
- 566
- 00:54:48,747 --> 00:54:51,327
- Seppala's the only one
- who can survive a longer run!
- 567
- 00:54:51,416 --> 00:54:53,336
- What's this nonsense about a relay?
- 568
- 00:54:53,710 --> 00:54:56,550
- Uh, now, Constance, this is a good thing.
- 569
- 00:54:56,629 --> 00:54:58,049
- - Is this it?
- - It is.
- 570
- 00:54:58,131 --> 00:55:00,341
- Fourteen teams stationed
- at these roadhouses
- 571
- 00:55:00,425 --> 00:55:02,215
- between Nenana and Shaktoolik.
- 572
- 00:55:02,302 --> 00:55:04,392
- Even as we speak,
- they're running short legs
- 573
- 00:55:04,471 --> 00:55:06,471
- passing the serum
- from one sled to the next.
- 574
- 00:55:06,556 --> 00:55:10,556
- And on our end, two teams will go out
- to these roadhouses and wait for Seppala.
- 575
- 00:55:11,895 --> 00:55:14,055
- We'll need another sled
- for the relay on our end.
- 576
- 00:55:14,147 --> 00:55:16,000
- Is it possible you can
- put together a team for us?
- 577
- 00:55:16,024 --> 00:55:17,034
- Of course.
- 578
- 00:55:17,108 --> 00:55:18,544
- Do you think your man, Gunnar,
- would drive them?
- 579
- 00:55:18,568 --> 00:55:19,988
- - Of course.
- - Good.
- 580
- 00:55:20,070 --> 00:55:21,610
- The governor came up with this when?
- 581
- 00:55:21,696 --> 00:55:23,406
- Twelve hours after Seppala departed.
- 582
- 00:55:24,657 --> 00:55:27,537
- Leave it to a politician to change
- the rules after the game's begun.
- 583
- 00:55:27,619 --> 00:55:29,999
- No. This is a good thing.
- 584
- 00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:31,540
- Seppala won't have to go as far.
- 585
- 00:55:31,623 --> 00:55:34,173
- - But he has no idea there's a relay.
- - Exactly.
- 586
- 00:55:34,250 --> 00:55:36,290
- Just... Please.
- 587
- 00:55:38,046 --> 00:55:40,296
- Now, by best estimate,
- 588
- 00:55:40,382 --> 00:55:44,142
- the relay should be at the roadhouse
- in Shaktoolik tomorrow.
- 589
- 00:55:44,219 --> 00:55:46,259
- Now the governor's people
- have worked this all out.
- 590
- 00:55:46,346 --> 00:55:49,516
- And by all accounts, when Seppala arrives
- at Shaktoolik tomorrow,
- 591
- 00:55:49,599 --> 00:55:51,429
- the serum will be there waiting for him.
- 592
- 00:55:51,518 --> 00:55:52,918
- [Constance] He's in Shaktoolik now.
- 593
- 00:55:54,020 --> 00:55:56,900
- - Or past it.
- - What? No. No, that's not possible.
- 594
- 00:55:56,981 --> 00:56:00,321
- I know my husband, if there's ice
- on Norton Sound, he's crossed it.
- 595
- 00:56:00,402 --> 00:56:02,702
- In this storm?
- Surely he's not going to try and cross...
- 596
- 00:56:02,779 --> 00:56:03,859
- Of course he would.
- 597
- 00:56:04,656 --> 00:56:07,656
- Going around the Sound
- is 90 miles, crossing it is 20.
- 598
- 00:56:07,742 --> 00:56:08,992
- He saves a day each way.
- 599
- 00:56:09,077 --> 00:56:12,537
- George, if there's ice on the Sound,
- he's crossed it.
- 600
- 00:56:13,373 --> 00:56:14,934
- And if they don't meet at the roadhouse...
- 601
- 00:56:14,958 --> 00:56:18,208
- Then they'll just hook up on the trail.
- 602
- 00:56:18,294 --> 00:56:21,214
- There are 1,000 ways a driver
- can miss another on the trail.
- 603
- 00:56:21,297 --> 00:56:23,217
- A thousand ways in good weather.
- 604
- 00:56:24,092 --> 00:56:26,012
- - You know this.
- - I do.
- 605
- 00:56:26,094 --> 00:56:29,474
- So, if my husband doesn't magically run
- into your relay team,
- 606
- 00:56:29,556 --> 00:56:30,658
- the one he is not even looking for,
- 607
- 00:56:30,682 --> 00:56:32,392
- he and his dogs will drive on for Nenana.
- 608
- 00:56:32,475 --> 00:56:35,725
- And your relay driver,
- when he realizes he's missed them,
- 609
- 00:56:35,812 --> 00:56:37,232
- he will set out on his own.
- 610
- 00:56:37,313 --> 00:56:38,673
- But he wouldn't do that, would he?
- 611
- 00:56:38,732 --> 00:56:41,072
- - Who is it? Who's the driver?
- - Henry Ivanoff.
- 612
- 00:56:41,151 --> 00:56:43,031
- Well, Henry is tough and brave,
- 613
- 00:56:43,111 --> 00:56:46,161
- and he's not going to sit in front
- of a warm fire while children die.
- 614
- 00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:47,659
- I promise you that. He'll set out.
- 615
- 00:56:50,285 --> 00:56:51,405
- Well, can he make it?
- 616
- 00:56:54,122 --> 00:56:55,962
- I won't speculate on the life of a musher.
- 617
- 00:56:58,585 --> 00:56:59,585
- Can he?
- 618
- 00:57:01,588 --> 00:57:04,048
- My guess is
- we don't find Henry until the spring.
- 619
- 00:57:05,050 --> 00:57:08,600
- Not him, not his dogs,
- not the serum, until the thaw.
- 620
- 00:57:09,512 --> 00:57:10,512
- [Mayor] But, uh...
- 621
- 00:57:10,597 --> 00:57:12,137
- Four days ago, in this very room,
- 622
- 00:57:12,223 --> 00:57:15,563
- we concluded only one man and one dog
- could make that run.
- 623
- 00:57:16,269 --> 00:57:18,019
- And nothing has changed but the weather.
- 624
- 00:57:20,106 --> 00:57:21,226
- It's worse.
- 625
- 00:57:21,858 --> 00:57:24,438
- [George] All those children... lost.
- 626
- 00:57:29,449 --> 00:57:30,619
- Pray they meet.
- 627
- 00:57:53,515 --> 00:57:55,055
- [Henry] Gee! Gee!
- 628
- 00:57:58,770 --> 00:58:01,560
- Gee! Gee! Round.
- 629
- 00:58:10,824 --> 00:58:13,244
- Hike! Gee! Gee!
- 630
- 00:58:22,669 --> 00:58:24,549
- Leave it. Leave it!
- 631
- 00:58:25,171 --> 00:58:27,261
- Haw! Haw!
- 632
- 00:58:30,176 --> 00:58:31,176
- Leave it!
- 633
- 00:58:33,304 --> 00:58:34,314
- Haw!
- 634
- 00:58:57,120 --> 00:58:58,160
- [barks]
- 635
- 00:58:58,246 --> 00:59:00,746
- [dogs barking]
- 636
- 00:59:09,007 --> 00:59:10,007
- No, no, no, no, no.
- 637
- 00:59:10,842 --> 00:59:12,052
- Sepp, no!
- 638
- 00:59:12,802 --> 00:59:13,802
- Don't!
- 639
- 00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:17,220
- Sepp! Sepp!
- 640
- 00:59:19,059 --> 00:59:20,309
- I have the serum!
- 641
- 00:59:21,936 --> 00:59:24,686
- No! I have the serum.
- 642
- 00:59:25,857 --> 00:59:26,857
- Sepp!
- 643
- 00:59:28,026 --> 00:59:29,066
- Sepp!
- 644
- 00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:31,320
- No!
- 645
- 00:59:47,921 --> 00:59:50,921
- [dogs barking in distance]
- 646
- 01:00:33,842 --> 01:00:37,682
- [Henry] Bill Shannon took the first leg.
- Ran through the night.
- 647
- 01:00:38,513 --> 01:00:39,973
- Fifty below, easy.
- 648
- 01:00:40,724 --> 01:00:43,734
- He arrived in Tolovana
- with his face black from frostbite.
- 649
- 01:00:45,061 --> 01:00:47,151
- He passed on to Ed Kallands.
- 650
- 01:00:47,731 --> 01:00:50,981
- They had to pour hot water on his hands
- 'cause they were frozen to the sled.
- 651
- 01:00:52,819 --> 01:00:54,199
- Then went Tommy Patsy.
- 652
- 01:00:56,197 --> 01:00:57,317
- Then Jackscrew.
- 653
- 01:00:58,199 --> 01:01:00,699
- But none of us are as tough as you, Sepp.
- 654
- 01:01:07,167 --> 01:01:08,877
- - Sepp?
- - Yeah, what?
- 655
- 01:01:10,211 --> 01:01:11,211
- You okay?
- 656
- 01:01:12,797 --> 01:01:15,427
- Of course. Never better.
- 657
- 01:01:20,764 --> 01:01:22,024
- What about him?
- 658
- 01:01:22,098 --> 01:01:23,138
- What about him?
- 659
- 01:01:24,559 --> 01:01:26,269
- Please take this the right way, okay?
- 660
- 01:01:27,979 --> 01:01:31,229
- That, right there,
- is the best dog I've ever known...
- 661
- 01:01:33,026 --> 01:01:35,236
- but what I'm looking at is a spent animal.
- 662
- 01:01:36,613 --> 01:01:40,123
- He is.
- This storm just about broke all my pups.
- 663
- 01:01:42,118 --> 01:01:44,698
- I wouldn't be a true friend
- if I didn't speak my mind and...
- 664
- 01:01:46,289 --> 01:01:47,539
- [sighs]
- 665
- 01:01:50,043 --> 01:01:52,923
- Leave him here. I'll take good care of him
- till the weather breaks.
- 666
- 01:01:53,004 --> 01:01:54,094
- He's my lead!
- 667
- 01:01:56,257 --> 01:01:58,757
- Now do yourself a favor
- and tend to your own.
- 668
- 01:02:04,474 --> 01:02:05,484
- Sure, Sepp.
- 669
- 01:02:13,066 --> 01:02:14,106
- I'm sorry.
- 670
- 01:02:15,360 --> 01:02:17,780
- I shouldn't have spoken to you like that.
- 671
- 01:02:17,862 --> 01:02:19,492
- Yeah, don't give it a second thought.
- 672
- 01:02:19,572 --> 01:02:22,492
- No, that was shameful of me.
- 673
- 01:02:23,368 --> 01:02:25,948
- Especially since what you said
- was out of kindness.
- 674
- 01:02:28,206 --> 01:02:29,456
- Whatever happens tomorrow,
- 675
- 01:02:29,541 --> 01:02:32,591
- fortune or fault,
- is mine and mine to reconcile.
- 676
- 01:02:33,586 --> 01:02:36,126
- But I thank you, Henry,
- for thinking of the dog.
- 677
- 01:02:38,508 --> 01:02:39,678
- Not many do.
- 678

- [doctor] "To sleep, to sleep.
- 679
- 01:02:49,144 --> 01:02:50,984
- The long bright day is done.

- And darkness rises
- from the fall of the sun.

- To sleep, to sleep.
- 682

- Whate'er thy joys,
- they vanish with the day.
- 683
- 01:03:04,034 --> 01:03:08,204
- Whate'er thy griefs,
- in sleep they fade away.

- To sleep, to sleep.

- Sleep mournful heart
- and let the past be past.

- Sleep, happy soul.
- 687

- All life will sleep at last.

- To sleep.

- To sleep."
- 690
- 01:03:32,729 --> 01:03:34,649
- [man] Still time for me to place a bet?
- 691
- 01:03:34,731 --> 01:03:36,571
- [Seppala] Thanks for your hospitality.
- 692
- 01:03:36,649 --> 01:03:37,939
- Looks like I was wrong.
- 693

- [Henry] Seppala, no!
- 698

- My greatest worry is that
- he'd be within miles and...
- 801
- 01:15:58,391 --> 01:16:00,231
- No such thing is going to happen.
- 802
- 01:16:00,310 --> 01:16:04,150
- Sepp is the best musher I know.
- Nothing will stop him from getting home.

- If you'll outfit the sled,
- I'll start pulling dogs.
- 804
- 01:16:06,524 --> 01:16:08,194
- No, no, Mrs. Seppala. I can do both.
- 805

- You should sleep.
- 806
- 01:16:09,527 --> 01:16:11,197
- I've had my fill of time in the house.
- 807
- 01:16:11,279 --> 01:16:14,819
- If it's all the same to you,
- I'd prefer to fetch dogs.
- 808
- 01:16:14,908 --> 01:16:17,908
- Sure. And who do you think
- I should have in lead?
- 809
- 01:16:17,994 --> 01:16:21,414
- Fox is the best dog left.
- Paired with Balto.
- 810
- 01:16:22,415 --> 01:16:23,535
- They won't win any races,
- 811
- 01:16:23,625 --> 01:16:25,785
- but they'll plow through snow
- and run home for dinner.
- 812

- Come with me.
- 820
- 01:17:27,105 --> 01:17:28,305
- [Seppala] I haven't the time.

- Come.
- 822
- 01:17:30,150 --> 01:17:31,440
- I need to go.
- 823
- 01:17:40,201 --> 01:17:41,951
- Last night I was worried about you.
- 824
- 01:17:43,997 --> 01:17:46,247
- Thought you'd bit off
- more than you could chew.
- 825
- 01:17:48,126 --> 01:17:49,206
- Then I saw that.
- 826
- 01:17:50,837 --> 01:17:52,167
- And asked myself...
- 827
- 01:17:53,256 --> 01:17:56,756
- "Why should Amituk worry about any man...
- 828
- 01:17:58,136 --> 01:18:00,756
- who cheats death like this?"
- 829
- 01:18:17,655 --> 01:18:19,445
- Now, you're gonna ride in the sled.
- 830
- 01:18:20,200 --> 01:18:22,330
- Even if it's just for 20 miles.
- 831
- 01:18:28,375 --> 01:18:31,125
- Come now, for once ride in the sled.
- 832
- 01:18:33,672 --> 01:18:34,672
- Stay.

- Togo! I'm sorry. I can't help you.
- 838
- 01:20:08,016 --> 01:20:09,016
- I can't see.
- 839
- 01:20:09,726 --> 01:20:11,726
- We need to get to the next roadhouse.
- 840
- 01:20:12,437 --> 01:20:14,437
- Take us to Big Joe. I know you can.
- 841
- 01:20:16,024 --> 01:20:17,194
- I know you can.

- 01:20:18,068 --> 01:20:20,238

- 01:21:58,835 --> 01:21:59,955
- Togo?
- 848
- 01:22:05,175 --> 01:22:06,175
- Togo?
- 849
- 01:22:15,143 --> 01:22:18,153
- We can't stop. We must keep going.
- 850
- 01:22:18,855 --> 01:22:23,775
- Do you understand? We stop, we die.
- 851
- 01:22:24,569 --> 01:22:29,989
- Listen to me, if you stop, you die.

- Joe, we're here.
- 856

- Oh, God.
- 857
- 01:22:48,551 --> 01:22:50,391
- The serum's in the sled.
- 858
- 01:22:54,974 --> 01:22:57,194
- You go inside.
- I'll get the dogs in the barn.
- 859
- 01:22:57,268 --> 01:22:58,808

- Seppala! Inside.

- Now, Leonhard, your race is over.
- 864
- 01:24:03,752 --> 01:24:04,922
- Just have a drink with me.
- 865
- 01:24:11,843 --> 01:24:14,513
- This one, this one here.
- 866
- 01:24:15,180 --> 01:24:18,390
- All those miles in this storm,
- 12 years old.
- 867
- 01:24:19,517 --> 01:24:21,307
- That's just incredible.
- 868
- 01:24:21,394 --> 01:24:22,404
- [man] Wish me luck.

- - Here.
- - [man] Is this the serum?
- 872
- 01:24:58,139 --> 01:24:59,929
- - Warm this.
- - Aye.
- 873

- - Good luck, Gunnar.
- - Thanks.
- 874
- 01:25:01,810 --> 01:25:04,650
- My dogs, my dogs, they're... I need help.
- 875
- 01:25:52,068 --> 01:25:53,398

- "Gunnar Kaasen." Excellent.
- 884
- 01:26:23,099 --> 01:26:26,189
- Now, the lead dog. What's its name?
- 885
- 01:26:26,269 --> 01:26:27,899
- One's called Fox.
- 886
- 01:26:27,979 --> 01:26:29,229
- "Fox"?
- 887
- 01:26:29,314 --> 01:26:32,654
- People will think it's a real fox.
- The other one, what's its name?
- 888
- 01:26:33,401 --> 01:26:34,531
- Balto.
- 889
- 01:26:34,611 --> 01:26:37,111
- "Balto." Yeah. Perfect.
- 890
- 01:26:37,822 --> 01:26:40,372
- Hey! Get that dog's photo there.
- 891
- 01:26:40,450 --> 01:26:44,200

- 01:27:35,880 --> 01:27:38,220
- [Joe]
- You ought to stay another week, at least.
- 895
- 01:27:38,299 --> 01:27:39,469
- [Seppala] Look at this.
- 896
- 01:27:39,551 --> 01:27:43,511
- I know, I just wish
- you would allow yourself more...
- 897
- 01:27:43,596 --> 01:27:45,556
- You've been a fine host, Joe.
- 898
- 01:27:45,640 --> 01:27:47,890
- You treated me and my dogs like family.
- 899
- 01:27:47,976 --> 01:27:49,016
- Thank you.
- 900
- 01:27:54,566 --> 01:27:55,646
- He up to it?
- 901
- 01:28:01,573 --> 01:28:02,573
- We'll make it.
- 902
- 01:28:41,071 --> 01:28:44,201
- [dogs barking]
- 903
- 01:29:21,736 --> 01:29:23,026
- There's a dog in our bedroom.
- 904
- 01:29:23,780 --> 01:29:24,860
- Yes, there is.
- 905
- 01:29:26,991 --> 01:29:28,471
- [Constance] There's a dog on our bed.
- 906
- 01:29:29,369 --> 01:29:32,209
- Yes. There is.
- 907
- 01:30:11,828 --> 01:30:12,908
- You should've woke me.
- 908
- 01:30:13,997 --> 01:30:16,077
- You had him to yourself long enough.
- 909
- 01:30:17,042 --> 01:30:18,882
- Then again,
- to hear the newspapers tell it,
- 910
- 01:30:18,960 --> 01:30:21,880
- you never left the house.
- It was all Balto and Gunnar.
- 911
- 01:30:21,963 --> 01:30:23,053
- We have company.
- 912
- 01:30:25,717 --> 01:30:28,547
- [dogs barking]
- 913
- 01:30:35,185 --> 01:30:37,805
- If you like pears, these'll put
- a smile on your face, I think.
- 914
- 01:30:37,896 --> 01:30:39,186
- Thank you, Eileen. Come in.
- 915
- 01:30:40,315 --> 01:30:43,815
- Ah, bacon.
- It's the best I ever made right here.
- 916
- 01:30:43,902 --> 01:30:45,362
- - Thank you, Bill.
- - [Bill chuckles]
- 917
- 01:30:47,030 --> 01:30:48,030
- Hey, Sepp!
- 918
- 01:30:48,656 --> 01:30:49,866
- Really, this is too much.
- 919
- 01:30:50,658 --> 01:30:52,038
- Oh, it's not nearly enough.
- 920
- 01:30:55,455 --> 01:30:56,655
- [Constance] Good morning, Dan.
- 921
- 01:30:56,998 --> 01:30:57,998
- [grunts]
- 922
- 01:30:58,333 --> 01:30:59,753
- Morning, Constance.
- 923
- 01:30:59,834 --> 01:31:00,884
- Sepp.
- 924
- 01:31:01,503 --> 01:31:06,633
- So, I had some furs laying around
- and I stuffed them with straw.
- 925
- 01:31:06,716 --> 01:31:09,716
- You know, something for between him
- and the cold floor.
- 926
- 01:31:10,470 --> 01:31:11,720
- Hey, Togo.
- 927
- 01:31:11,805 --> 01:31:13,215
- I made something for you.
- 928
- 01:31:15,558 --> 01:31:16,938
- Well, go on. Give it a try.
- 929
- 01:31:19,104 --> 01:31:20,114
- Go on.
- 930
- 01:31:32,242 --> 01:31:34,702
- Thank you, Dan.
- Have a seat. I'll bring you some coffee.
- 931
- 01:31:35,662 --> 01:31:38,672
- Uh, no. No, I mean, I'd love to,
- 932
- 01:31:38,748 --> 01:31:42,668
- but I have my own dogs to attend,
- 933
- 01:31:42,752 --> 01:31:44,632
- so thank you.
- 934
- 01:31:47,257 --> 01:31:48,257
- Sepp.
- 935
- 01:31:52,762 --> 01:31:53,762
- [Mayor] Morning, Dan.
- 936
- 01:31:54,597 --> 01:31:56,427
- - Knock-knock.
- - Hello, Mayor. Come in.
- 937
- 01:31:59,060 --> 01:32:00,100
- That all right, then?
- 938
- 01:32:00,186 --> 01:32:01,686
- Sepp, thank you so much.
- 939
- 01:32:02,856 --> 01:32:04,976
- [woman 1] We appreciate
- everything you've done for us.
- 940
- 01:32:05,734 --> 01:32:07,253
- [woman 2] Ever so grateful, Mr. Seppala.
- 941

- [Constance groans]
- 944
- 01:32:23,293 --> 01:32:24,673
- No, it's too much.
- 945
- 01:32:38,058 --> 01:32:41,558
- Hi, Sally. Hello, Dev.
- Won't you please come in?
- 946
- 01:32:48,485 --> 01:32:50,105
- - [Seppala] For me?
- - [Sally] Mm-hmm.
- 947
- 01:32:55,658 --> 01:32:56,868
- [Sally] It's Togo.
- 948
- 01:32:57,285 --> 01:32:58,365
- Thank you.
- 949
- 01:32:59,579 --> 01:33:02,079
- Father carved it, but I painted it.
- 950
- 01:33:02,832 --> 01:33:05,592
- Well, it's a brilliant likeness, Sally.
- Thank you.
- 951
- 01:33:13,635 --> 01:33:15,005
- [whispers] He likes his ears.
- 952
- 01:33:16,680 --> 01:33:21,140
- Another man would be enjoying all this
- but not a private man like yourself.
- 953
- 01:33:21,226 --> 01:33:22,476
- Am I right?
- 954
- 01:33:22,894 --> 01:33:24,830
- [Constance whispering]
- Do you think he stayed warm outside?
- 955
- 01:33:24,854 --> 01:33:27,774
- I wouldn't have come myself
- if not for her insistence.
- 956
- 01:33:27,857 --> 01:33:30,537
- - But she wanted to see him...
- - [Constance whispering indistinctly]
- 957
- 01:33:32,195 --> 01:33:36,825
- and I want to be with her at every moment.
- 958
- 01:33:36,908 --> 01:33:37,968
- [Constance] Around the side.
- 959
- 01:33:37,992 --> 01:33:40,622
- - Top?
- - [Constance] The top.
- 960
- 01:33:40,704 --> 01:33:44,624
- It's strange. You know, I...
- I see her and yet...
- 961
- 01:33:45,792 --> 01:33:49,052
- I don't know how to describe it,
- it's unworldly.
- 962
- 01:33:49,671 --> 01:33:50,761
- Does that make sense?
- 963
- 01:33:52,173 --> 01:33:56,553
- Kinda like every moment I'm with her
- seems impossible yet...
- 964
- 01:33:58,054 --> 01:33:59,144
- yet there she is.
- 965
- 01:34:05,311 --> 01:34:06,311
- [Sally] Mr. Seppala...
- 966
- 01:34:07,564 --> 01:34:08,984
- is Togo going to die?
- 967
- 01:34:16,406 --> 01:34:18,196
- [Constance] Leonhard. Leonhard.
- 968
- 01:34:21,619 --> 01:34:24,659
- Um, excuse me.
- I have cake for you both so please stay.
- 969
- 01:34:24,748 --> 01:34:26,248
- - Okay.
- - Please.
- 970
- 01:34:28,793 --> 01:34:30,803
- Leonhard, come back inside and apologize.
- 971
- 01:34:30,879 --> 01:34:32,209
- They're guests in our home.
- 972
- 01:34:32,297 --> 01:34:34,167
- Apologize for me.
- 973
- 01:34:34,257 --> 01:34:36,797
- She meant no ill by it.
- She's just a child.
- 974
- 01:34:36,885 --> 01:34:38,795
- I know. She spoke the truth.
- 975
- 01:34:38,887 --> 01:34:40,927
- No, don't say that. He's on the mend.
- 976
- 01:34:41,014 --> 01:34:43,984
- It's not winter lameness.
- He doesn't have a bad paw.
- 977
- 01:34:44,059 --> 01:34:46,849
- You know. You've seen it before.
- 978
- 01:34:50,148 --> 01:34:51,648
- Well, could another dog have lead?
- 979
- 01:34:51,733 --> 01:34:53,153
- We'll never know.
- 980
- 01:34:53,234 --> 01:34:56,074
- Well, I think you should consider a world
- where Dev has no child
- 981
- 01:34:56,154 --> 01:34:57,494
- and I have no husband.
- 982
- 01:34:57,572 --> 01:35:00,952
- Everything you ever tried to warn me about
- has come true.
- 983
- 01:35:03,870 --> 01:35:05,250
- I have run him to death.
- 984
- 01:35:06,831 --> 01:35:07,961
- I have.
- 985
- 01:35:10,085 --> 01:35:12,085

- 01:38:28,199 --> 01:38:31,409
- [barking continues]
- 1010
- 01:38:41,338 --> 01:38:42,628
- Togo, you want some bacon?
- 1011
- 01:38:45,091 --> 01:38:46,681
- Good boy. Tog...
- 1012
- 01:38:48,553 --> 01:38:51,063
- No! No, no, no, no.
- No! Togo! Hey!
- 1013
- 01:38:51,139 --> 01:38:52,769
- Hey! Togo!
- 1014
- 01:38:55,435 --> 01:38:57,265
- Togo! Togo, come!
- 1015
- 01:39:19,626 --> 01:39:20,786
- Togo!
- 1016
- 01:39:22,921 --> 01:39:24,051
- Togo!
- 1017
- 01:39:35,892 --> 01:39:36,892
- Togo!
- 1018
- 01:39:46,069 --> 01:39:47,359
- Whoa!
- 1019
- 01:40:25,191 --> 01:40:26,361
- [sighs]
- 1020
- 01:40:41,082 --> 01:40:44,042
- [Seppala] It was foolish of me
- to think Togo would ever be denied.
- 1021
- 01:40:46,629 --> 01:40:49,129
- I always thought he lived for the sled.
- 1022
- 01:40:50,133 --> 01:40:54,893
- When all along, what he lived for was me.
- 1023
- 01:41:00,769 --> 01:41:02,769
- We resumed the trail.
- 1024
- 01:41:02,854 --> 01:41:05,694
- We discovered a walk was as good as a run.
- 1025
- 01:41:11,196 --> 01:41:14,236
- As always, Constance was right.
- 1026
- 01:41:14,991 --> 01:41:17,451
- Togo had the heart of a survivor.
- 1027
- 01:41:18,578 --> 01:41:21,038
- Not the storm of the century,
- 1028
- 01:41:21,122 --> 01:41:23,582
- nor a harrowing serum run could stop him.
- 1029
- 01:41:26,878 --> 01:41:29,508
- He lived out his golden years
- with a new job...
- 1030
- 01:41:31,132 --> 01:41:32,432
- father.
- 1031
- 01:41:33,468 --> 01:41:35,468
- [puppies barking]
- 1032
- 01:41:39,140 --> 01:41:41,850
- For two years he sired pups.
- 1033
- 01:41:41,935 --> 01:41:43,935
- [growling]
- 1034
- 01:41:45,522 --> 01:41:48,442
- While the lower 48 celebrated Balto,
- 1035
- 01:41:49,150 --> 01:41:53,660
- mushers from all over the world
- elbowed to get one of Togo's line.
- 1036
- 01:41:54,781 --> 01:41:56,871
- Kennels from Fairbanks to Maine
- 1037
- 01:41:56,950 --> 01:42:00,160
- bred what came to be known
- as Seppala Siberians.
- 1038
- 01:42:01,287 --> 01:42:05,287
- A breed valued for their intelligence,
- stamina, courage,
- 1039
- 01:42:05,375 --> 01:42:10,205
- but most of all, their good nature
- and uncommon bond with humans.
- 1040
- 01:42:19,764 --> 01:42:22,274
- He left us on a Thursday in December.
- 1041
- 01:42:28,940 --> 01:42:31,230
- Constance and I continued
- working with dogs
- 1042
- 01:42:31,317 --> 01:42:34,237
- because if you're around them
- long enough...
- 1043
- 01:42:34,320 --> 01:42:35,320
- Whoa!
- 1044
- 01:42:35,405 --> 01:42:36,985
- ...they tend to get under your skin.
- 1045
- 01:42:38,908 --> 01:42:41,748
- And if you're lucky enough
- to have known a great one,
- 1046
- 01:42:42,620 --> 01:42:44,120
- they never really leave.
- 1047
- 01:42:45,749 --> 01:42:48,629
- They stay with you as long as you live.
- 1048
- 01:42:50,003 --> 01:42:51,763
- Harnessed to your heart,
- 1049
- 01:42:51,838 --> 01:42:53,548
- giving their all...
- 1050
- 01:42:59,888 --> 01:43:00,888
- Hike!
- 1051
- 01:43:04,017 --> 01:43:05,267
- Always.
