Question: In the movie there are eight dogs and one dies falling on the snow, which leaves seven. In the end there are six. Did I miss one? Thank you very much for your help.
Chosen answer: Yes you missed Old Jack, who's too old to go with the others on their journey and dies at base camp.
Question: Why did Maya give up in the end? I know she was bitten in the leg, but she can still walk around on the other 3 legs?
Answer: She may be able to walk on three legs, but traveling a long distance and keeping up with the other dogs in such extreme circumstances would be too much and would be extremely painful. Also, seal bites often cause a serious bacterial infection which would quickly sicken and incapacitate Maya.
Answer: Mya did survive because max wouldn't leave her behind.
Answer: Three of them. DJ who played Demon in Snow Dogs played Mac. Koda was Yodel and Maya. Buck was Sniff and Old Jack.
