It's hard not to cry at this movie, especially if you have soft spot for animals. I bawled when I first watched Togo, and I cried again watching with you.
In The Cruelest Miles, Seppala wrote: “I hope I shall never be the man to take away credit from any dog or driver who participated in that run. We all did our best. But when the country was roused to enthusiasm over the serum run driver, I resented the statue to Balto, for if any dog deserved special mention it was Togo.”
Happy you enjoyed the movie! A lovely reaction. :)
