I read that the three-dog night practice originated in Alaska.

In Fairbanks when the bottom drops out below -40 degrees, three dogs just won't cut it.

One husky on each side, one for the feet, and one on top.

Four Dog Night.

The problem with huskies is that they are so well insulated they feel cold to the touch on the outside! I used to wake up next to mine (not in a -40 degree hole in Fairbanks, mind you...in a cool but not freezing attic bedroom) and poke her awake because I thought she was dead.

I guess it depends on the breed of husky. Siberians and wolf-mixes can be pretty toasty.
