There may have been more breeds involved than just golden and husky but those 2 were known for sure. Luke & Lily had a really sad story. They were born in a horse stall and had absolutely no human contact for their first 6 months of life. Someone would dump dog food into the stall for the mother and pups. When my mom lost her poodle at the age of 18 she decided to adopt from the local humane society. She saw these 2 puppies and couldn't decide which to take so she adopted both. They both seemed shy but we thought that it had to do with the activity around the adoption day at the vet clinic. Had she known their story, she may have only took 1 of them because they turned out to be totally dependant on each other and never really warmed up to humans like other dogs. Lily died quite unexpectedly at the age of 3. Only after she was gone did Luke start to come out of his shell around people. Then he died unexpectedly at the age of 4. One of the techs at the veterinary clinic had also adopted from the same litter and her dog, who was marked exactly like a husky, also died before the age of 5.
Sorry to hijack the thread with their story. When I saw Maya's picture I couldn't believe the resemblance and I just had to share.
