Meet SeQuoi Tenk (also known as Quoi), a stunning chocolate-brown Siberian Husky. With his piercing blue eyes and unique coloration, he may be mistaken for a wild wolf, yet he’s 100% Siberian Husky. His wolf-like look, on the other hand, complements his wandering existence. He and his mother, Nikki, are presently searching for a new home in the lower 48 states of the United States.
Quoi is seen exploring the magnificent environment of the United States, which Nikki chronicles on Instagram. In just eight months, he’s garnered over 22,000 followers, which is unsurprising.
SeQuoi Tenk may appear to be an odd name, yet it has significance. “His first name, SeQuoi,” Nikki explains to My Modern Met, is named after a sequoia tree. “They believe a name shapes a person’s personality, and I wanted him to be as large, towering, and powerful as a sequoia tree.”
“Tenko is Japanese for ‘heavenly fox,’ and as strong as I wanted him to be, I also wanted him to be lovely, which he is!” she says.
Except for a cute white patch on his chest, Quoi is almost completely brown. Due to the rarity of all-brown huskies, it’s no wonder that Quoi draws a lot of attention. Nikki explains, “Everywhere we go, people stop in their tracks wanting to pet him.”
“At least three–five strangers have questioned me, ‘What is he?’ and no one believes me when I say ‘Siberian Husky,’ but he is AKC certified and 100% Siberian Husky.”
Nikki originally intended to adopt an older dog, but she struggled to be accepted by the animal sanctuary she contacted since she doesn’t have a permanent home.
“Getting a puppy was my only option for getting a dog,” she explains. “He wasn’t the dog I was looking for, but he was precisely what I needed. “Attitude and hilarity abound.”
