This is the thread for the part of the Weekly Balto where you can ask us questions, and we will answer them. If you're lucky, your question might appear on the next issue of the magazine as well.

So, I hope some mod will sticky this as well, as the Reader's Corner is an essential part of the Magazine.

Ask away!

Does Kodi miss seeing Aleu,and how often does he ask about how she's doing?

Kodi really do miss Alue greatly, but he is happy that she's at last found her place in the world. I think he often wants to know how she's doing, but sadly he also knows that... nobody knows.

Can I ask where Star got to?

Nobody knows; possibly; Star retired because of Kaltag.

Is it possible that Dusty has claws,and she thought that they were useless in the snow?

The possibility that Dusty has claws is quite... not there. As dogs can't retract their claws, I just think she was malcreated. Or maybe she's mutated a bit so she can retract her claws. Both possibilities are there.

There has been some complications with Sylvie & Dixie, and they're kind-of retired. However, they most probably look at Balto like the stared at Steele; big-eyed and drooling.

Did Dusty teach herself the clothesline "trick",or did Balto teach her how to do it?

Does Jenna have any good memories of Steele?

I dare say that she does not. It would seem more logical for her to be traumatized, rather than have any good memories of him.


(Remember that any questions here - within the boundaries of the rules, naturally - are allowed)

Nobody really knows exactly what happened. Speculations suggest that Balto could have gone on a longer journey and then returned to Nome about a year prior to his passing. Other speculations suggest he remained at his home for the rest of his life. I don't know if we will ever learn that story.
