Correct me if I am wrong, but no one really cared for the missing dog. Yes, one died (we see its grave at the end of the movie). The team saved 6 dogs including the injured one. But what about the dog that went down that slope when they were playing altogether? Every dog was mourning above it.
Did i miss anything? Was it saved among the other dogs?
You did miss something: the dog who fell down the slope (Dewey) died. That's why the others left him--because he was dead, and they understood there was no reason to stay w/ him.
shareYes, I know the dog died. What bothered me was that Paul Walker did not even bother to search for the dog. The dog could have been a little bit further just like Maya.
If there was not the other dog to alarm him, Walker would have left Maya there as well. That's what i meant in the original message. Walker was ready to leave the camp with the dogs that just appeared. He did not even make an attempt to search for the missing dogs
He went back for Maya *because* Max alerted him that she was still alive and needed help. Max wouldn't have alerted him to Dewey since Max, and the other dogs, knew Dewey was dead. And he wasn't just "ready to leave the camp w/ the dogs that just appeared", remember; there's a shot (or 2) of him looking into the horizon once the 1st five dogs show up.
Since Max didn't insist that Walker's character keep searching after they found Maya, he could make the reasonable assumption that there was no more reason to keep looking.

I agree. The movie should have shown him anxious to the find the missing dogs.
shareThat bothers me also with this movie. We can assume that when it warmed up maybe they found what was left of the dog and gave him a proper burial.
Your second life is never like your first. Sometimes it's even better
I thought that they did find him since his collar was on the cross on the grave.
shareI'm upset about that plot point too. Watching today, I wondered if I saw two collars on the cross. One for Old Jack, and one to be a symbol the lost of Dewey.

You need to be realistic about this. The dogs had been on their for more than 100 days in the frozen Antarctica. It was a miracle that any of the dogs survived. And no, he didn't look for Maya until Max alerted him. But why would he have? Why should he have expected that any of the missing dogs survived?
And where would he have looked? This is a continent that is larger than the United States.
