One of our neighbors had one (I thought it was a Malamute, though could’ve been a husky - had blue eyes). I’m not a dog person. The problem was he kept it in an enclosed lot by itself, maybe about half an acre or so. Other than to feed it, the owner never paid it much attention. The poor thing was crying for love and attention. I’d go outside or my father and it would so desperately try to get our attention so we’d play with him (of course, we couldn’t, because of a ditch and the fence). Eventually, one day, he managed to find a way out of the yard and ran off. Hopefully a good family found him and gave him a loving home, because the neighbor (thankfully) never found him.
Huskies and Malamutes are beautiful animals. If I had more room, I’d adopt a bunch of them.
Don’t know how well they do down here in the lower 48, though... they’re cold weather dogs, correct???
