Huskies
Where They Come From?
Huskies originated in Siberia and were used to pull sleds, since their thick coats could withstand the harsh weather and temperatures. During the gold rush in Alaska, Huskies were used not only to transport goods, but also
as amusement for miners in the form of dog races. During the diphtheria epidemic of that time, they were used to transport medicines and other supplies around Nome. In World War II, huskies were used as search and rescue dogs.
