I was thinking of going to the local Husky rescue.  Do you know anything about Husky dogs?
They are close to grey wolves genetically
Are they strong and fast?
Oh yes!  In fact they are extremely fast and powerful and were used as a sled dog for heavy loads
That's great I trail run and I'm looking for something that can keep up. I wonder where they get the name Husky from
Funny enough, it actually comes from the Eskimo people.  They were nicknamed huskies, short for huskimos.
That's odd. I wonder if they mind. 
Doubtful.  They were first called that in 1852 due to their closeness with the Eskimo people
