Togo wanted to be with the man the moment he was old enough to watch the other dogs . He tried everything to be with his master! He broke out of every place that he was closed in to. He was sooooo intelligent, so encouraging, so energetic! He wanted to please his master right from the start, but the guy just could not see it. He would not even believe his wife when she told him to try Togo out!! It is a beautiful movie!! So much love from Togo. Finally Leonard, (sorry misspelled), saw the potential that was in Togo so he made Togo the leader. I hate the sad ending but that is how it is. So heart-breaking at the end. God bless Togo forever!
