We already know that Siberian Huskies are breathtakingly beautiful. They have a very unique look that makes people turn heads when they spot one nearby. However, one Siberian Husky has been getting a lot of attention lately because of his rare looks. As if being a Siberian Husky wasn’t enough, this one has brown fur!
This is SeQuoi Tenk (AKA Quoi).
As you can tell, Quoi is a very special boy because of his chocolate-brown fur coat. Even though anyone can easily mistake him as a wolf in the wild, he is a pure Siberian Husky. His shiny blue eyes and brown fur can make a person doubt if he is even a dog, which suits the fact that he travels the lower 48 of the United States with his nomad mom, Nikki. His is on a search to find a home with his mom, and she posts their adventures in nature on his Instagram account.
He gathered over 22,000 followers on his Instagram account in just 8 months.
Which doesn’t come as a surprise to us, just look at him!
There is a meaning behind his unique name.
My Modern Met interviewed his mom, Nikki, and she explained the meaning of his name to them. “His first name SeQuoi, is after a sequoia tree,” Nikki told them.
“They say a name can really shape a personality, and I wanted him to be big, tall, and strong like a sequoia tree is.”
“Tenko is Japanese for ‘heavenly fox,’ and as much as I wanted him to be strong, I also wanted him to be sweet, which he totally is!”
Other than a cute little white spot on his chest, all of Quoi’s fur is brown.
Completely brown-furred Huskies are very rare, so he gets a lot of attention when he is near people.
“Everywhere we go, people stop in their tracks wanting to pet him,” says Nikki.
However, people have a hard time believing he is a pure Siberian Husky.
“I get asked at least three-five times by strangers ‘what is he?’ and when I say ‘Siberian Husky,’ no one ever believes me, but he is AKC certified and is 100% Siberian Husky.”
He just looks like the combination of a wolf and a bear.
But his majestic looks prove he is a Husky.
Nikki got him when he was just a puppy.
She initially wanted to adopt a full-grown dog, but it was hard for her to get approval by an animal sanctuary because she doesn’t have a permanent residence.
“The puppy route was my only choice to get a dog,” she explains. “While he wasn’t the dog I was searching for, he was exactly the dog I needed. Full of attitude and goofiness.”
And we are so happy for both of them!
He really is a goofball, just like Nikki explained.
He loves doing bleps just like other dogs.
Quoi is a very special boy.
This is what he looked like as a puppy:
It looks like a still from a movie scene.
We’ve fallen in love with this gorgeous chocolate-brown boy.
And we can’t wait to see more of his adventures in the wild!
