I recently got a Husky as a pet but don't know much about them.
That is so exciting. Is this a siberian husky? They are from Russia I hear.
 The owner just said the dog was a husky. I didn't realize there are different ones.
I had no idea until just recently. I guess another type of husky would be a labrador husky. It is the type that Inuit People used. 
How interesting. I didn't realize they were related to the Indians.
Yeah! The Inuit people typically had a pretty extreme lifestyle. I am guessing that the huskys really helped with survival and winter blues. 
I wonder if they used them for warmth as well.
That is a good question. One would really want a warm dog at their side on those long caribou hunting trips. 
That is true. Do they only have a past in North America?
It looks like they also lived in Greenland. I just found out yesterday while watching the World Cup that Greenland is part of North America.
