I've always taught my students that the difference between another and the other is "another" has no boundary, while "the other" has a boundary.
I think "the other" 's the means unique, only one thing, the thing left, while another's an means one of many or unspecific.
For example,
One of the dogs is black, the other is white.(a certain group)
One dog is black, another is white, another is red,.....(no group)
Is it correct?
