    Glacier has a post under "Sled dog butts" that gives a link to the Malmute Rescue that supplied two of the dogs, a great story in itself!

    I guess 8-Below is only loosley based on the actual story- see Glacier's thread to learn more. I can't wait to see it!

    I hate is when movie companies change real life stories.

    The only reason I'm going to go see it is because Paul Walker is in it. <3

    Well one reason it's different is because most of it is taking place where the dogs are... and they don't for sure know what the dogs did there. So they had to guess.

    They know what most of the dogs did in reality...they died still on their chains. Only two of 15 survived in the actual incident. But no one would go see that movie, so Disney made it a happier ending. Can't really blame them for that, they are trying to make money.

    I hope the Wayeh rescue dogs get some more publicity out their appearances. It would be nice if this movie could help some dogs already in rescue instead of having more end up there!
