Siberian Husky EDISON SIBERIA

Meet Edison, a handsome 5 yr. old Husky boy that is known for being a happy tailwagger. Perhaps the joy for life comes from his rescue story. According to mom, Anne Kilgore, “Edison was found by someone in a ditch on Studewood in Houston. They posted him on the neighborhood chat. We took him to foster for Texas Husky Rescue, a great rescue we have supported for years. He was 12 weeks old, 11 pounds and very dehydrated, but otherwise okay. He was adopted at about four months and returned in two days. After that, we decided to foster fail and he has been an integral part of our family since then.” We love foster fail stories!

Adjusting to home life with the Kilgore family was no problem for Edison. “When I realized I could have a good home for life instead of living on the streets, a light bulb went off in my head (which is maybe why I’m named Edison) and I decided I would fit in with the family and now I play with my other doggie siblings and cuddle with mom and dad. And to be honest, I’ll admit I also want to stay because they give me raw bones to chew…my favorite pastime.” Handsome and honest...what a great combo!

Edison does seem like a talented guy, especially given his great training at Club Canine, so we had to ask if he has any special things he can do and mom confirmed, “Yes, he has an amazing baritone howl and he initiates a good pack howl a few times a day.” We hope the neighbors aren’t too close!

In 1925 the breed gained widespread fame by saving Nome, Alaska, during a diphtheria epidemic; teams of Siberian Huskies battled blizzard conditions to relay life-saving serum over 674 miles (1,085 km) to the icebound city.
