The husky rescues I work with are already trying to prepare for the influx of 9 month old puppies(the most common age for huskies to get dumped.) Thank Goodness Eskimo dogs are rare and unsuitable as a family pet!
Thanks for posting the link to the real story, I like to see what really happened. I also hate to see dogs (animals) in movies only because it then makes them fashionable or trendy for a time and then you get so many BYB pumping them out for profit and most end up in shelters when that happens because people don't research the breed and they expect them to be just like you see in the movies, which generally is so far from the truth. It's a sad thing and I hope it doesn't get too out of hand=(
