“Don’t argue with a husky,” reads the caption shared along with the video, which has already garnered over 4.7 million views, as well as more than 330,000 likes and thousands of comments from internet users who have been amused by the scene.
“Oh my God! You must have a lot of patience!”, said one Instagram user. “I love it when they tell their stories,” said another. “You’ll never win an argument with them!”, admitted a third internet user. “I know some people like that,” joked another.
Although howling is instinctive behavior, huskies have become “extremely social” dogs according to Rebecca Meares-Jones, board member of Texas Husky Rescue, after 10,000 years alongside humans. We have shaped this chatty behavior through positive reinforcement and breeding.
“Howls can reach up to 16 kilometers in the wild, and the sustained sound makes it easier for pack members to find them, so this behavior is essential for their survival. This is a less desirable skill in suburban neighborhoods, but it is still an instinct,” she explained in a conversation with the Daily Paws website.
