Eight Below

Last nite, i watch 'Eight Below' movie.
Its a very sad story which was based on a true story about the courage of the sled dogs and the explorers teams in Antarctic. I remember well the sled dog pack leader, Maya, Shorty, Max, the twins, old Jack, Shadows and few others...
Its very sad to think of the good,loyal animals to men, which in the ends gets nothing out of it.
Stranded in the snow, tied up colar .. the sled dogs managed to stay alive and make it through the winter and waits for Jerry and teams to come back for them. Even not all 8..as Jerry said "almost..".
The story is based on an actual 1957 Japanese expendition.
Jerry Shepard stars as the guide who spends months working in Antarctica with his beloved team of 8 sled dogs.
Right before the winter, they are assigned to bring a geologist, Davis to search for a meteor. After a treacherous trip to the meteor, word comes that a storm is moving fast and the team has to be out of the base camp immediately. Davis pleads for a few more hours and Jerry reluctantly gives in. Finally Davis found what his is looking for and they happily continue their journey back to the base camp. But as the team starts their trip back, a misstep by Davis sends him flying off a 20' cliff. Being rescued by Jerry and the dogs, Davis's appreciation for the work done by the canine crew grows tenfold.
By the time Jerry gets Davis back to the base camp, they desperately need medical attention. Unable to take the dog with them on the flight, Jerry only boards the plane with assurances from the pilot, Kate that she'll land and immediately return for the dogs. When Jerry wakes up in the hospital, he quickly learn no one was able to return for his team.
