Hukka was our first dog and leader of the pack after us humans. Hukka was a very wise and strong charectered dog.

Even at an older age Hukka was very playful and still liked to play with Nuki when he was a little puppy.

Hukka didn’t work in the sled team for very long because of problems with her back (spondylosis), but Hukka did accomplished the Finnish Malamute Club’s working display and handle part.

One of Hukkas favourite things was to spend time in our cottage, because there she got to be unleashed all the time since she stayed in our yard. Hukka also liked swimming and sometimes performed the duties of a swim guard, because Hukka had a habit of fetching people out of the water by taking their hand in her mouth carefully and guiding them to shore.

Hukka indeed was a very wise dog and one time when we were in our cabin I decided to go swimming and Hukka came along. Hukka sat on the shore to watch and I swam quite a long time. Eventually Hukka came in the water, swam towards me and took my hand in her mouth and guided me to shore. On the shore Hukka looked at me sharply as if saying "enough swimming for you today".
