I was wondering why Balto would still be on his boat in the sequels. If he was so famous after the medicene run,  wouldn't Rosie and her parents have taken him , especially after Jenna and Balto have pups together?  Just wondering...if this is a silly thing to ask, then just ignore this.

Well, I think that there's two possibilities. One, they could have took him in, but he would be what is known as an "outside dog", and would be free to roam. He could still live in the house with Jenna, but be able to go outside whenever he pleases. I actually think that Jenna was able to do the same (since she, Balto, and the puppies were outside playing in one of the scenes in the second movie). The second possibility could be that the family just decided not to take him in at all. Even though that's doubtful (since [I can say from my opinion] if my dog had pups with Balto, I would take him in. )

	I'm not a wolf. Kthxbai.

xDD. I made a fanfic about why I think he is!

Yes, I'm talking of the animated Balto. Not the real one. I don't think the real one lived on a boat at any time of his life. Or lived with a goose for that matter.

Would you take in a wolfdog, even if he did have puppies with your dog? He is a wolfdog. Dogs are more easier to take care of, and wolfdogs aren't the "a walk a day will keep the dog away." What I mean is.. Balto would never get used to live in a house. I am sure they wouldn't be able to handle a wolfdog. I would never take in a wolfdog, since I wouldn't be able to handle it. Plus, Boris will be sad. xP Balto is just not the inside wolfdog.

You make a very good point as well Juuchan17.

	WQ > Balto > WoC

Well, I kind of agree with Kari's answer on this one. Yes, perhaps Balto was given the opportunity to live life as a house dog (maybe with Jenna) since he had suddenly reached "hometown hero" status, but knowing Balto, leaving his boat home would be leaving the only true home that he had ever known (other than his home in the wild from when he was a pup, but he's probably forgotten it), and Boris and the bears would be alone too (since Boris was like a "father" to Balto, and he probably would miss Balto's help with caring for the young polar bears). Yes, he is an outside dog, just like Kari said, but perhaps the humans thought it was best for Balto to stay where he belongs and not put him in a new and unfamilar world (such as a warm and cozy house). Sad to say it, but he is part wild . . . maybe they were still afraid that he would be able to turn on them and any moment. (I agree, Kari; I'd take him in if he made puppies with my dog any day!)

Gee, thanks Kari! I never thought of that either, about the outside dog thing.

I never thought of That. Good theory Kari
