Ramanth, didn't it just identify the dogs as huskies, not specifically siberians? I ask because the story indicated these were very large dogs (according to the neighbor) and in the picture, they sure looked like malmutes. Non-dog people use the term "huskies" rather generically. Sibes were bred as pets and only weigh between 35 - 55 lbs, where a mal can be twice that size. Sibes are much more people-friendly dogs, too, whereas mals tend to be less tolerant, often they are "one person" dogs. The attack just sounded so out-of-character for sibes, it left me wondering about the identity of these "huskies".
there were pics/video of the dogs. they were sibes.
