** The real Balto wasn’t half-wolf, but White Fang was. White Fang is also ostracized by the other dogs in the community he grew up in, like Balto was in the film, but ends up settling down with a female dog at the end of the novel and fathering a litter of pups.
** There was a 1997 animated movie adaptation of ''White Fang'' that, ironically, borrowed heavily from ''Balto''.
** ''Balto II'' could be considered a loose adaptation of London’s other famous novel, ''Call Of The Wild''. There, a dog named Buck learns to act more like a wolf, the opposite of ''White Fang''. The same happens with Aleu in the film.

Rosy is actually Jenny, who stepped into a time portal. She was adopted and changed her name, but resented her situation and missed her home, so she named her dog after herself. Eventually, she grew up into the old woman we see in ''Balto'', met her younger self and faded.
Or she was reborn into an endless cycle of lifetimes of pain and loss and eventually became [[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls Bill Cipher]]. Whatever strikes your fancies.

[[WMG: Steele has a FreudianExcuse]]
He and Balto were once good childhood friends...until one fateful day when Steele's parents were killed by a pack of wolves. This has lead the heartbroken Steele to despise Balto over his wolf heritage, and by extension much of Nome to ostracize him as well.

[[WMG:Kodi is gay.]]
[[https://www.animationsource.org/balto/en/articles/Phil-Weinstein-interview/85108.html&id_film=12 It is confirmed]] that the writers were aiming to make Dusty and Ralph the official couple, so right from the start we don't get the common "pair the young opposite sex" leads. Then, he is the youngest of his litter (increasing the statistical change he is gay), and one of his defining character traits is his insecurities about himself. Granted, neither thing makes a character gay by default, but it would make it pretty consistent characterization wise. Finally, he does stare at Kirby sometimes, and seems to want his approval.
