I loved this movie, but I warn any dog lovers, especially Husky lovers that it is almost unbearably sad. The fact that it is based on a true story only makes it more so. The two lead characters are willing to risk their lives to go back and rescue, but they are not allowed to do so. I would have risked my life for my dogs too, but I cannot imagine how much more powerful the feelings of shame must have been to them, coming from the Japanese culture. It was an interesting glimpse into their culture when the two leads go to confess their shame to the people who bred the dogs for their expedition back in Japan.
