Fun movie, beautiful dogs, nice scenery. Some aspects shouldn't be analyzed too hard, but it's worth suspending your disbelief. And yes, it's a tearjerker.
There is an article in today's Anchorage Daily News (adn.com) about the dogs from Soldotna, Alaska who played one of the dogs in the film.
And this week there was an interesting article about the rescue of several mushers and their teams from dangerously bad weather in the Yukon Quest, a long distance (1100 miles or so) race in Alaska/Canada. They were helicoptered out, with mushers and dogs crammed into a 5 x 7 cargo space so tightly that they shut the doors and kept loading dogs through the windows. One of the pilots commented that it was tricky to fly and not sit on dogs, but it was a trip of a lifetime.
