Hairless husky photograph goes viral online

Posted on Saturday, 17 June, 2017 | Comment icon

A bizarre photo of a husky with most of its hair shaved off has left many people scratching their heads.

The peculiar image was posted on Twitter last week by the user OmonaKami with the caption: "If you've never seen a husky with absolutely no body hair then here you go. Enjoy."

The poor dog, which can be seen sitting on a table, appears to have had all of its hair removed below the neck, making its head look strangely disproportional to the rest of its body.

It remains unclear why the husky had been shaved or why its head had been left alone.

Whatever the case, the result certainly looks strange.

It is probably medically related going by what's in the photo.

It doesn't appear that the dog is in any pain. I don't understand why people are claiming its "abuse." I don't think shaving a dog is abusive. =/ I don't understand people.

Some dogs, its fine. Huskies it's very much not, and you will want to because they shed terribly. As said their second coat shouldn't be cut. Its a shield for them.

Like travelnjones said, with some dogs it's ok, but breeds with a double coat shouldn't be shaved since their coats are what protects them from the elements. Without it they can sunburn, overheat, freeze, etc., and their coats will probably grow back less attractive than it used to be. The setting looks to be at a vet or groomer, so it was probably necessary, poor thing.

I have a husky and I don't think she'd be this skinny if I shaved her. That being said, I wouldn't shave her either because she has a double-coat and it may not grow back properly. I had a neighbor who shaved his malamute and that poor dog's hair never grew back. His fur looked like Einstein's hair, wirey and white.

I wonder, if cut finger(s) (pinky) of that dog owner(s), would it be hilarious and worth Instagram? Some dog owners deserve to be beaten to the pulp.
