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 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.

I guess it depends on the breed of husky. Siberians and wolf-mixes can be pretty toasty.
Mine is a beagle mix. VERY toasty. And lovely snoring too
It's cold tonight. Chuck another dog on the bed, eh...
