Hopefully it's alright if I comment here.
I first saw the original Balto when I was very small, maybe about five or six? And at that time, I didn't really understand that no, this story didn't happen exactly as Universal portrayed it. But it still held I kinda "magic" for me. It made me so excited and interested in the dog-like history. When we went to NYC, I dragged my mother, brother, and grandmother around Central Park just so we could see the statue. When I was older and the second movie came out, and I learned that no, there was no real Jenna or Aleu or Steele, I was heartbroken, but still interested about this story. Hopefully this isn't a paragraph a huge jumble of thoughts, I have kinda a hard time of organizing them. So yes, Balto touched my heart. Both the real one, and Universal's. Universal created this character who helped to share the story of one of the unnoticed stories of all time. And at the same time made him lovable and interesting.
And it was this Balto that led me to learn more about the original.
I came to Baltosource, because it's about Balto. It's the name for gosh sake cx
Is it fun to see people's creation and character's based off the Balto universe? Of course! The community on here is very creative and imaginative, and their characters and comics and stories know how to keep me interested. But it's also a Balto site. I think you have to care about the dog that died 100 years ago,because caring about him and knowing his story makes the site that much more exciting. This dog died 100 years ago, yet we're still talking about him now?
Hopefully this made sense and I'm not completely offtopic here.
