This movie contains 4 potentially triggering events.
Togo survives the events of the film. A voiceover describes that he passes peacefully after several years of retirement, although this is not shown on screen. Despite the challenges of the real events that this film is based on, no other dogs are shown or mentioned as being hurt.
The main human character falls asleep or almost falls asleep a few times, including a terribly dangerous one outside during a blizzard. Dogs are seen sleeping or otherwise unconscious because of the difficulty of the journey.
Directions to sled dogs. There are sometimes raised voices during disagreements, but they are very brief. A person even apologizes for what he said and how he said it.
A puppy is shown whining and being crated. Characters express verbal frustration with an uncooperative dog but never cause harm. Several times a dog is shown injured or bleeding as a result of dangerous terrain but prompt care is given.
It is implied that there are children dying, and one of the characters implies that a child they knew died, and the whole film revolves around saving kids from dying.
Several scenes in a simple rural hospital with groups of children quarantined due to a contagious disease outbreak. Hospitalized children are shown laughing, playing, and being read stories.
The ending is slightly bittersweet, the narrator explains that Togo (the dog) dies after living a long life, so it leaves you on a bittersweet note, but it is not sad
