The backgrounds of wolf dog and his new owner and the owner's partner (Beautifully played by Claus Maria Brandauer) explore unlikely relationships that form in a turn of the century Yukon environment which is raw and difficult. The boy becomes a man, the wolf-dog becomes a loyal friend of the young boy, and the partner becomes mature and sentimental - all changes against a glorious mountain backdrop.. The American Humane Society approved the many action scenes, some of them very violent, in which the dog and other less friendly dogs appear. The criminals are taken to the Royal Mounties, the boy stays with his wolf dog, the partner goes off with the bar owner after boy, dog and partner find a mine full of raw gold. It's a classic old movie with boy and dog as an unexpectedand wonderful team. What a beautiful dog!
A few tears. Great!
