The Samoyed Found the Remote and Now the TV Is Out of Luck

AI imagesamoyedtv remoteliving room

A cloud of white fur lies stretched out on the living room rug, and in front of it rests a chewed-up black TV remote with buttons missing. The Samoyed smiles, as Samoyeds always seem to, with dark eyes and a black nose peeking out of all that fluff. A sofa, a plant and a pair of slippers sit nearby. Movie night is going to be a lot harder tonight.

Samoyeds are friendly, gentle dogs from Siberia, known as the smiling dog thanks to the upturned corners of their mouths. They were bred to herd reindeer and pull sleds, so they are energetic, social and happiest when included in family life. Their thick white double coat sheds a lot and needs regular brushing. Remote controls contain small batteries and plastic parts, and swallowing them can be dangerous, so call your vet right away if you think a dog ate any.

Dogs are drawn to remotes because they smell like people and have a satisfying crunch. Keep remotes in a drawer, give your Samoyed a durable chew toy and set aside time for play. A bored Samoyed can be a talkative, creative one.

She gives the camera a slightly guilty smile, which does not look guilty at all. The channel guide will have to wait. Samoyeds love company, so a fluffy cuddle may be all it takes to make up.
