Most people think that Siberian Huskies are either black and white or grey and white. But they also come in other colors such as brown and white, red and white or silver and white. This particular brown Siberian husky is gaining so much attention on social media for having an unusual all-brown coat. While this canine breed also comes in brown and white, it’s really rare for these specific dogs to have a mostly brown coat.
So, it’s no wonder that this Siberian husky is becoming the latest canine sensation. SeQuoi Tenk, Quoi for short, is stealing the hearts of the internet with his uniquely beautiful features that are considered rare for his breed. If not for his blue almond-shaped eyes and erect triangular ears, no one would even believe he’s a husky. If anything, many people would think he’s a wild wolf.

But his owner, Nikki, affirms that Quoi is AKC certified 100% Siberian husky. She got him from an animal sanctuary when he was still a puppy. Nikki was initially looking to adopt an older dog. But due to her nomadic lifestyle, the animal sanctuary denied her request to adopt a senior dog. They advised her to get a puppy instead so it can be trained to adapt to ever-changing environments. And that’s when she decided to get the Siberian husky pup.
But it turned out that choosing the brown Siberian husky was the best decision ever. She named him SeQuoi Tenk, which my seem rather odd for a pet dog. But there’s actually a significant meaning behind the name.
The name SeQuoi was derived from the sequoia tree which is one of the strongest trees in the world. Nikki believes that a name can shape a personality. So, she wanted a name than can make her dog become big and strong.
The name Tenko was based on a Japanese folklore tale that depicts a heavenly fox with a benevolent and sweet character. While she wished for her dog to become strong, she also wanted him to be sweet just the same.

While the photos showcase some of the most breathtaking places in the U.S., there’s no denying that Quoi is the real star of the show.
