Silly Malamute Tries to Snuggle Mom but Gets More Than He Bargained For
There's nothing dogs like more than getting up in your personal space...too close isn't close enough for them! Baby Luke is a Malamute puppy who loves to snuggle up with mom. In this video that mom posted at the beginning of May, he is trying to get mom's attention, and when he does, it's not because he's snuggling her!
The video shows Luke's mom on the edge of the couch, reading something on her phone. Luke is right up on top of her being a goofball...just look at his cute face! He's standing on his head, bent in half. Watch what happens when he attempts to flip over onto his back - he's in for a big surprise!
I've watched this at least three times! It gets funnier every time I watch it. Luke's mom looks just as surprised as I'm sure he was. It's not surprising that the video went viral - it's been viewed more than 6.5 million times and has more than 4 thousand comments. @michelle pointed out, "I think someone was trying to get your attention!" @Le Dawg added, "Dogs are actual comedians LOL!" And I couldn't agree more when @nigeriacookedfood said, "Having a dog is like having a toddler forever!!!" It's so true!

Is an Alaskan Malamute Right for Your Family?
Most Alaskan Malamute owners will tell you that their dog is a big goof. Malamutes are known for their playful and friendly personalities and are very social. They love their humans (other animals not so much) and get along well with kids. Like Huskies, these dogs love to 'talk' as well as howl and bark. If you're looking for a chill, quiet dog, a Malamute is probably not for you.
Malamutes are a working breed, so that means they are high energy and like to stay busy. If they don't have things to do they get bored, and boredom leads to destruction. If your family is active, this is the perfect breed for you! If your family is more on the couch potato side of activity, skip bringing home a Malamute. These dogs have a dominant personality and are very intelligent. Training can be difficult because they like to be in charge, and they can be quite stubborn. They're also known for being escape artists, so a high and secure fence is a must.
Malamutes shed, and they shed a lot! They shed heavily throughout the year and twice a year they blow their coats and shed even more. These dogs require a lot of grooming to maintain their coats and you can expect to vacuum daily...sometimes more than once a day.
Each dog breed comes with pros and cons. Make sure to do your research before bringing home a dog simply because it's cute. For me, this breed's cons far outweigh the pros, even if they are big ol' cute and goofy floofs.
