In 1880 Montana a German shepherd named Jacob “Alaska” Precht has a flock of sheep and is looking for a place to spend the winter with it. A local rancher named Johnson doesn't want them wintering in the territory. Johnson holds captive a Lakota Indian boy named Chetan as a suspect in stealing a horse. Johnson wants to hang the boy, but Alaska saves him and takes him in as a helper. Chetan, who now distrusts all white men refuses the offer and flees to his Indian village. Alaska tracks him there and finds the village destroyed and the inhabitants killed. Chetan tries to kill Alaska because he is a white man who he blames for the massacre of his tribe. They eventually learn to trust each other and fight together against Johnson and his sons. Johnson is too strong, so Alaska and Chetan take the sheep herd and move on.
