Sure, but he still overreacted, and it definitely wasn't -only- Balto "stealing" Jenna he was upset about. He was, as Jenna so bluntly put it, a "glory hound" - he didn't want to share his limelight with anyone, period. He was so full of himself, and he just couldn't stand the thought of someone else - let alone this wolfdog mutt - taking his place, as he (irrationally) thought was happening.

That's really true! The nature of Steele is the only thing that forces Steele to react like that.
So technicly, its his own fualt.

Don't forget: Steele tried to get Balto lost by marking all the trees.

I agree. Steele could have avoided all the fighting & falling off the cliff.....all that mess if he'd just be kind & share the limelight.
