Wanted to make a slight correction: it was actually 16 dogs in the original and in reality.

Oh, I must have misread that somehow. I just looked it up and it said there were 15. Thanks for pointing that out to me.

@R4fterm4n In the movie not only 2 dogs survived actually 2 died and the rest survived.

I hated 8 below! It's so sad! I think other than 6 of the 8 dying, I think that part where the guy comes back and pulled the chain up and there was still one connected... that was the worst and saddest part ever! I hate seeing animals get die or killed or abused in movies... like I'd bawl like the biggest baby at the end of Marley and Me... and in that movie the dog was in pain so it had to be put down!

Huskies are genetically and personably the closest "dog" to a wolf; some would argue that the husky is actually a type of wolf all on its own. Hail to the wolves and to the huskies too ^ ^ Much, very much love - awesome creatures!

(continue)

Seven dogs were found in dead, at which were connected to the chains.

Eight dogs were removed chains and six dogs were missing.

Surprisingly, Two dogs(Taro & Jiro) were live !

So in the end a few more did survive but shamefully enough to many did lost there live there in the cold on a chain and some where out there in the cold wilderness.

This is what the book said that i have over the expedition in that time, there answers in it on how and why only those two dogs survived..

(continue from the last post)

The ship was trapped in the ice

and was rescued by American Icebreaker ship. The first team were evacuated

by helicopter and 15 Sakhalin Husky dogs, which connected with chains, were

left in the base. Cancel the second winter. After came back to Japan, the expedition team received a rush of criticism for leaving the 15 dogs in the Antarctica base. Eleven months later, In January 14th 1959, the third team arrived in the base.

[ladysyerra]

In February 1957, the first Japanese Antarctica expedition team constructed

the research base " Showa station ", in which located at 69°00′ S 39°35′ E

in Antarctica.

(Twenty two Sakhalin Husky dogs were joined.)

Thereafter, 11 men with 15 sled dogs (Sakhalin Husky) ,

one cat and two birds remained in Antarctica (February 1957-February 1958).

One year later, In February 1958, the second team went to the Antarctica base.

But the ship was unable to get close to the base.
