Since they are used to working in packs, Huskies have a natural tendency to use their voice to communicate to their comrades. How does this translate in a human pack? A lot of howling and vocal expression. Make no mistake, a husky will never hesitate to let you know what's going through their mind.
Stella currently knows 29 words and is able to tell her parents when she wants to play, go outside, and drink water. She's even able to express when she's feeling affectionate with a "love you." So how does Stella communicate?
Research published last month proved that orca, or killer, whales have the ability to mimic the complexities of human speech.
