In 1993, Jerry
Shepard is a guide at an Antarctica research base under contract with the
National Science Foundation. UCLA professor, Dr. Davis McClaren, arrives at the
base. He presses Shepard to take him to Mount Melbourne to find a rare
meteorite from Mercury. Shepard decides that the only way to get to Mount
Melbourne is by dog sled.Shepard and McClaren make it to Mount Melbourne, but are called back to base camp due to an approaching heavy storm. McClaren begs for more time, and Shepard gives him half a day, which is enough time to find a fragment of the meteorite. En route back to base, McClaren slips down an embankment, breaking his leg and falling into freezing water. Shepard uses the lead dog Maya to carry a rope to McClaren and pulls him out
The two battle hypothermia, frostbite and near whiteout conditions as the dogs lead them home. Once there, the entire human crew is immediately evacuated, while the dogs are left behind. Certain that their pilot will return within days for the dogs, Shepard tightens their collars to ensure they cannot get loose and run away. Because of the harsh weather conditions, no rescue will be attempted until the next spring - and by then the dogs will be dead.
Back at home, Shepard tries to secure a plane to return and save the dogs, but no one is willing to finance the risky expedition. Five months later, Shepard makes one last attempt to get back. McClaren realizes the magnitude of his ingratitude and uses the remaining balance of his grant money to finance a rescue mission. Shepard acknowledges that there is almost no chance that any of the dogs have survived this long, but he owes it to his team to go back for them.
After being left behind, the eight sled dogs – lead dog Maya, Old Jack, Shorty, Dewey, Truman, Shadow, Buck, and the young Max, wait in the freezing conditions for Shepard to return. After two weeks with no food, Max snaps his collar and attempts to hunt seagulls. All the other dogs follow suit, except Old Jack, who is too tired and weak to follow, and remains tied to the chain.
Some time later,
Dewey slips and falls down an incline, where he is fatally injured. The team
stays with his body until morning, but have to leave. In the blizzard, Max
becomes separated from the group. Maya manages to lead the team to the Russian
base, which is unsecured and full of food, while Max finds his way back to the
American base, which is still locked and abandoned. Setting back out into the
wilderness, Max finds the carcass of a dead Orca, but is driven off by a
leopard seal.
Maya and the team
are nearby, and Max lures the seal away so the team can eat. It doubles back
and attacks Maya, who is badly injured. The team, now reunited, continue
traveling. They are starving, freezing and exhausted, and eventually the
injured Maya collapses into the snow. The dogs lie down beside their leader as
the snow piles up around them. They have been on their own for nearly six
months.
Shepard makes it
back to base and is dismayed to find the body of Old Jack, still attached to
the chain, and no sign of the other dogs. He hears the sound of barking and
sees Max, Shorty, Truman, Shadow and Buck come over the horizon. After a joyous
reunion, Shepard attempts to load the dogs into the snowmobile, but Max runs
off, with Shepard in hot pursuit. Max leads him to Maya, lying in the snow –
weak, but alive. With six of his eight sled dogs in tow, Shepard heads back to
civilization.

so touch story.....
yah..,
persahabatan antara manusia dan hewan peliharaannay, kadang terasa jauh
lebih tulus dan menyentuh, ada ikatan batin yang kuat yang hanya bisa
dirasakan dan dimengerti oleh keduanya, manusia lain mungkin kadang
melihat kita ini berlebihan karena kita terlalu sayang terhadap hewan
peliharaan kita, tapi beneran kok mereka tulus, karena hewan peliharaan
kita itu gak pernah bohong, bisa terima kita apa adanya, bisa jadi
pendengar yang baik dan tulus bagi keluh kesah kita.. tak seperti
manusia yang kadang modus dan penuh tanda tanya tentang
kesetiaannya.....
