The animals on the cover of Inside .Mac are Eskimo dogs, also known as huskies. This dog stands between 20 and 27 inches high and can weigh anywhere from 60 to 100 pounds when fully grown. Its coat can be of any color and its eyes are brown, blue, or gold, or a combination of all or some of these colors. An Eskimo dog has a thick coat of fur, which helps it tolerate temperatures as low as 90 degrees below zero.

Eskimo dogs are workers, having a long history as sled dogs, both pulling and racing sleds. They have great physical endurance and an instinctual desire to run. Because of this, owners should make sure to allow these dogs plenty of outside time for exercise, but should also ensure that their dogs are not left to roam free, as they may run off too quickly. These dogs are very intelligent and loving. They have a considerable amount of energy and thrive when allowed to be around other dogs.
