with a dog playing a significant role

Ulysses
based on Homer's epic poem 'Oδύσσεια'
with Kirk Douglas and Silvana Mangano

To my knowledge this is the only film, from the many inspired on 'The Odyssey', where Book XVII immortalizing my ancestor Argos, King Odysseus beloved Dog, is at least represented in one scene (at 1:25:40 of the film), though far from the poignant poem by Homer (read it here)

'Togo'

An Original Movie starring Willem Dafoe and Julianne Nicholson, “Togo” is the untold true story set in the winter of 1925 that treks across the treacherous terrain of the Alaskan tundra for an exhilarating and uplifting adventure that will test the strength, courage and determination of one man, Leonhard Seppala, and his lead sled dog, Togo.
