I completely agree with you! I don't like when people are trying to make Dusty related to wolves or something. Seriously people, compare Dusty and Aleu. The same markings doesn't mean they are related or anything!

Well there are BIG design differences seriously:

Eyes
Aleu's eyes are big and very feminine-looking. The color is yellow-light blue-dark blue
Dusty's eyes are smaller and round-shaped. The color is white-dark blue-black

Ears
Aleu's ears are big darker than rest of her body.
Dusty's ears are smaller and the same color as rest the body.

Color
Aleu's fur is brown with creme underbelly.
Dusty's fur is more greyish.

Build:
Aleu's body shape is almost the same as Balto's.
Dusty appears to be smaller than Balto and also her build is very masculine.

Front legs:
Aleu's socks are similar to Balto's, but higher.
Dusty's sock are different shaped and about the same height as Balto's.

Back legs:
Aleu's socks are the same as Balto's.
Dusty's socks are full and doesn't go higher with a line.
Also Dusty have specific inner legs marking, different than any other dog. And this is not animation mistake.

I'll never, ever understand this whole Aleu/Dusty similarity thing going on..

They're completely different to me. Different colours, different body structure, different voices, different personalities different markings... is it the nose bridge? Is that what it is? That's the ONLY thing they have in common.

And no, Dusty and Ralph are Balto 3's couple. Not Dusty and Kodi.

Thay way I think people think that Alue is Dusty because they do look kinda the same if you see it in another way. I thought Dusty was just Alue that came back home.

Aleu. Aleu Aleu Aleu. I don't know how many times this particular issue has been clarified on this site. It's a name that is all of four letters long. There is no possible reason for misspelling it.

I'm not flame baiting here. But really...what is so difficult about this?

To be honest, I really don't see any resemblance between Dusty and Aleu. They're completely the opposite of each other in my opinion. Aleu was sort of like a teenager going through one of those "teenage drama" moments and she also acted like a spoiled brat a lot. As for Dusty, all I can really say is that she was more mature and wasn't as annoying.

I third it.

^ I have no choice but to fifth this. Heh
