It was in all the papers at the time.

Men searching in the arctic

And found the yellow metal

Gold

A mad fever's spread
as far as word can travel

And thousands more rushed to the north

To try their luck

These men needed dogs

Big dogs, with strong muscles,
to pull their sleds

Come on there buck

Buck was neither a house dog



Nor canal dog

Here good boy.

His master

Was santa clara county judge

Watch it, you!

In this realm

Buck was king
- Damn it creature!

Be careful, it's judge miller's dog.

You wish the judge
a happy birthday from me

Thanks we'll do

Thousands of gold rushers

Locked in that box

He couldn't eat, drink, or sleep.

Buck had no idea where he was

Where he'd been

Where he was going

The edge of nowhere

Went through here first.

And sol-Leks

You are here

Welcome to the team

We have a new route.
So everyone pay attention

You too dave, we are here

We deliver mail 500 miles all the way to

They don't understand you

Just do what spitz does, ok?
He leads, you follow

Team ready?

Remember, we don't just carry the mail

We carry lives

And mush

Spitz, che

See buck

Now all our fates are one.
- They are dogs

They don't understand
- Oh yes he does

I guess. Buck

We are all tied up together now

We fall all together

But so do we get up as one

Come, we try again

Easy, that's it spitz

I think your dog is broken
- He's not broken

He just got fall of his feet

Now here

Under the open sky

Buck felt a cold

He'd never known

Out!

Dogs sleep outside!

Growing up in the world of men

Buck had learned to
listen to their voices

Tonight

He would begin to hear his own

Come on buck, we have to go on today, ale.

Thanks perrault

Thank you

You are a heavy one

Spitz

Che

You see, he learns quick

Doing the work of a sled dog

Brought buck confidence

And joy

Now

He belonged to a pack

That's it! Come on

Hold on

Buck, stay

No, no, no, francois.

Francois

Francois

You're okay

Buck!

Buck!

Buck!

Buck!

Buck!

Buck

Buck!

Buck

Oh buck

Crying for a dog

No no no

I wasn't crying

You were crying

No

I wasn't

In all his years sending the mail

Perrault's never been on time

Not once

But he drives every day
like it might happen

He believes

But I've never saw
him believe in anything

As much as he believes in you

Now I do too

A pack can have only one leader

Spitz' had her enough

Spitz!

Spitz!

Spitz!

He's not like him

I looked all morning,
can't find him anywhere

It's like he's vanished

Spitz!

We have to go without him

Can't lose the day

So-Leks... buck?

Back in place, ale

Sol-Leks got more than
five years on you

Get in line!

Buck

Just because you pull good
don't make you ready to lead

Okay? Hey

I don't think he's gonna move

Oh he'll move

Buck... move!

Come on, ale

Come here

What got to this dog this morning?

I think they know something you don't know
- There is nothing I don't know

Hey

We can't make up this much time.
They'll close the office.

No no no no!

We are going to be on time, just once

Fine

Take it

It's not that bad

I lost my lead dog.

We'll be two days
behind if we're lucky

And we've never been lucky

You may want...

- Hang on
- Yeah yeah

Ok buck

And... mush!

Go

Hee ha!

Buck, turn!

Turn left!

Left!

Turn left! Go

Turn left!

No no no!

Are you crazy?

No no no no!

Perrault?

This is it! We're better now buck!

Get out of the way!

Go go!

Did you see that?

We made it!
We did it!

Here's one for kelly, yeah.

Your card is here

See buck

We don't carry mail

We carry lives

We carry hope, we carry love

We are leaving in the morning,
let's get some rest

Dear sarah

The soul seems to have
gone out of me now

Each day

Starts with a memory
of our dearest son

Team's approaching birthday

Reminds me of all
that's been lost

The warmth of our home

The adventures our son dreamed of

I wish I'd found the words

To express how I felt

Before the silence became

Unbearable

And I left

I search for a place

I might feel some

Peace

Though I'm sure I will never find it

As I know that as I am

There maybe

No home for me

In this world

You got time for one
more before you leave?

You're late
- It's my son's birthday

And I need to send this remembers to my wife.
- You should have come when we were taking

Took time to find the words

Oh

You learned to lead,
we won't need perrault anymore

You're lucky, buck is a boss

Anyone else?

Hey buck

I remember you

Thank you for stopping
- Now we go

Ready, buck?

And mush!

Nice buck

Yeah, that's it

Straight ahead

2400 miles in 80 days

I think that's gonna sleep till fall

Perrault, one for you

It seems official

What's the news from down south?

Perrault?

It's okay

It's okay, it's okay

You did nothing wrong

You all done good

Okay?

Sorry buck

They don't need me and
my sled anymore

By summer the telegraph
will reach here

A new way to send the mail

It's your team now

You still have a mighty journey ahead

The ground had shifted under him again.

Buck had lost another master

Now he would have to be the leader himself

Until a new master came along

I promised you, didn't I?

And here we are
- You promised me gold

Where is it?

In the dogs?

Get the sled loaded

It's time to stake our claim

Let's go, and...

Mush

Mush

Are they broken?
- No, they're just lazy

Buck

Charles, persuade the beast

Not the club

Charles, put that down, or...
I won't go a step

Charles!

Remember me?

Yeah I know

Your runners are frozen

You help your dogs and their mighty feet
if you take a gee pole and break them out

Gee-Pole?

What is he doing?

Dear watch the crawler

Where are you headed mister?

None of your concern

Didn't buy that map in skagway, did you?

No.
- An old fairy tale

Lost cabin

River of gold

It said not enough too far into the spring

Half that trail is on the river. - Well
that leaves half the trail worth the travel

All that means, the ice is gonna break up

With your companions
and that dogs on it

Why don't you wait
until spring comes

Save your dogs and your companions
from suffering

And let some old prospector
beat us to the gold?

I'm not a gold prospector I...
- No thank you

I paid a fortune for this team

They'll pull my sled
- They are good dogs, sir.

They'll pull your sled

They'll pull your sled till they die

Thank you

Let's go

Alright let's go, and...

Mush!

You lazy mutt!

I'm not so sure about those dogs

Maybe you should have
bought a different team

Maybe we should feed them

We should have stayed on the trail
- Mush!

Maybe they need a little encouragement

Mush!

For the first time buck
knew more than his masters.

But the whip

Offered him no choice

Son of a...

Oh no, we're going on a cross
move!

I say you go
- Hal, he can't!

Move

Don't you dare!

Hey!

The river ice's gonna break any minute

You fool

The dog is trying to
help you keep your life

Why are you so keen to stop us?

You know where the gold is, don't you?

You keep your filthy hands
off of my dogs

Hal he said we shouldn't cross

Hal, maybe we should leave-The dogs
- No, I can do it

Mush!

Mush!

Don't do this

Not to them

Mush!

What am I gonna do with you?

They are not here

They're gone

You were sleeping for two days

In my bed

I'll be back

Stay, go

Do what you want

Whiskey

Big bright shiny gold

No, I want the bottle

They are all gone

Dogs ran off

My fortune is lost

You called it a fairy tale

You just don't want
me finding the gold

Buck!

- Easy!
- You all saw

This man and I had business,
and the dog went for my throat

Leave the dog alone! Buck!

- Settle
- You see!

I say put it down, here and now
- You don't touch him!

Put any creature down

Until we hear all the facts.
- The man suck a punch me!

Buck, easy

What might have you on that belt, friend?

Get lost

You're okay, john thornton.

Yeah

I'm fine

What?

What are you looking at, huh?

You got something to say?

Buck!

That's not very nice

What did you do that for? Hey buck!

Buck, what are you...

Buck, bring that back

Now what are you gonna do? Huh?

Buck, what are you doing?
Bring that back

Well, you can not do this

That's mine

I need that, don't do this to me

What did you do? Where is it?

Get off me!

Get off! Buck!

This for mrs. Birthday

My son

After he dies, his mom and I.

We just grew apart

She didn't want to be around
me, I didn't...

I didn't wanna be around any body

So I came up here

And I met you

Good you're awake

Uh

Here it is

There is something I want to show you

Come here, come here,
this is a map of the yukon

My son was always reading

Adventure storys

He's crazy, about the news
coming from yukon

Wasn't the gold, he didn't even
care about that, he wants the mountains

He spent all day looking at
maps and pictures of the mountains

Dreaming about all
was on the other side

Places no one had been

Wild places

"Let's go," I said

He said "yeah pop"

We start there

But then he grabbed a pencil and he

He drew a bound line

Off the map

And he said, "let's go there"

"Off the map, where no one's been"

That's... that's what he loved

A real adventure

We could go

You and me

See what's out there

What do you think?

It's a canoe, buck,
we are gonna ride it

Settle, sit, sit, sit buck

Good boy

What are you doing?

Begging?

You are not my pet

Are you coming?

Get in here

Come on buck

Give us a song

Maybe not

I'm glad you're enjoying this

Oh you like that, huh?

I guess we walked from here

Your ancestors used to roam here

Back when they were wild

This is always here

I don't know,
which way? You tell me, go on

You lead!

Look what you found?

Look at this buck

I don't think we are off our maps

Prospector, I guess

Trash

Trash

Trash

Treasure

This is mine

Alright?

So leave it alone, it's mine

Good day

It's your ancestors

Wolves

That's good buck, but

More like this, huh?

And the fairy tale is true

That's more like it, buck

Smart boy

What?

What you're looking at?

Go take a look

Come on

Just be back before dark

Buck

Here, so far from home

I can see a change in buck

Something's pulling him into the forest.

Into the hunt

That's beautiful buck

It's still the same dog with me.

But I found it hard to imagine him

Back in civilization

Is there any house
big enough to hold him?

This journey seems to be leading
buck to his destination

Where is it leading me?

Long after dark

We've been staying out,

Later and later every day

Yeah, I know,
there's a lot to explore, but

World's a dangerous place

You never know what's coming

You never know

Two days

Hell

Ok buck

It's been a beautiful summer

You know what buck?

I have been thinking

I might buy myself a railroad

That's my hat, that's my hat, come on

Give me my hat

Give me my hat give me my hat

Give me my hat, buck!

Buck, come on

Hey hey

Uh

Timberwolf

Beautiful

This is their domain
they own this house

You wanna go? Go!

Just

Be careful

He had been both spoiled

And he'd suffered

At the hand of man

Now buck found himself

With his own kind

How far he has traveled
to find his home

How far I have traveled from mine

You look buck

Groceries

For life

No man needs more than that

It's time for me to go buck

Go home

What ever is left of it

Pick up the pieces harder

At least try

No

I'm not asking you
to come with me buck

You got something here

Something important

I know, I know it

I'm leaving in the morning

Come say bye

You're a good dog, buck

You're a good dog

You came all the way out here.
You knew something, didn't you?

You want it all for yourself

Where is it?

Where is the gold?

It's everywhere

Take it, take it all

It won't change anything

Won't bring back the dead

You know this, do you? Good

You see it boy? You see it?

Good

Buck

Now buck

Wanted adventure, huh?

It is ok boy

You're home

There is a place in these mountains

Where a new breed of
timberwolf roams

Wiser than man

Or wolf

Because of the dog

That runs at the head of the pack

Now

They live without fear

Raise their young and flourish

Some say

It's just a legend

Not so

You see, I knew him once

When he was just a dog
at a man side

And even though this land is his

Every summer

When he comes down to the valley

He remembers

Kind hands

And old masters

Before he went to his own

Became his own master

Before he heard

The call
