Built for a World That No Longer Exists: The Real Story of the Siberian Husky

Built for a World That No Longer Exists: The Real Story of the Siberian Husky

Season 2026 Episode 2 Published 1 month ago
Description

Nobody goes out looking for a Husky and thinks they're making a mistake. Then the dog turns five months old.

In this episode, Coach Francis goes all the way back to the Chukotka Peninsula to trace the Siberian Husky from its origins with the Chukchi people — one of the most sophisticated selective breeding cultures in human history — through the legendary 1925 Serum Run to Nome, and all the way home to your apartment, your gate, and your 3AM howling situation.

This is not an episode about a difficult dog. It's an episode about a misunderstood one.


The dog is always right. We just have to learn to read it.
