Husky

Huskies, called husky puppies as babies, are a trainable, cold weather dog found on the boreal forest and tundra biomes. They are sometimes selected as a starter pet. Huskies, like labrador retrievers, can periodically haul items and rescue downed pawns, making them useful pets to have.

Analysis

Huskies and labrador retrievers are strong candidates for hauler animals. Both are easy to tame, don't require a minimum skill to train, and don't ever lose training over time. With 0 wildness, they do not generate filth. As omnivores, they can eat meals, kibble, or any food you have lying around. A downside is that they can be hunted by predator animals, as opposed to cougars and bears.

Compared to the labrador retriever, a husky is more combat effective (2.82 vs 2.55), eats more (0.8 vs 0.64), carries slightly more (65 vs 56), and has slightly fewer puppies per litter (1.721 vs 1.937).

Huskies are one of the few animals that can nuzzle colonists, giving a +4 Nuzzled moodlet to colonists.
