Photo of the week: Stunning sled dog

Multi dog

This stunning photo of a sled-dog husky was taken by The Review freelance photographer Matthew Brown, last Saturday, January 16 at the Riceville Winterfest.

It appears, in the photo, as if the dog has two different coloured eyes - is it a trick of the light, or is it real?

In any case, the look in his eyes - dedicated, but calm - is transfixing, to say the least.

eyes

Huskies are known to have different-coloured eyes; it's a strange genetic trait of the species. Cool picture!

When speaking with the dogs

When speaking with the dogs owner, he said that it is not really known why this breed of dogs are prone to having two different coloured eyes, and also pointed out that he has owned dogs that had as many are three different colours in their eyes. Strange, but beautiful.
