The Husky Climbed the Stove and Nobody Knew How She Did It

AI imagesiberian huskystovekitchen

A black and white Siberian Husky stands on top of the stove with a frying pan beside her paws. Her pale blue eyes are fixed on something above the camera, her ears are pointed and her expression is very serious. A cupboard, jars and a dish towel fill the kitchen behind her. She has clearly reached a new level of height.

Huskies are athletic, clever dogs that were bred to pull sleds across long distances. They are friendly and independent, with a strong sense of adventure, and they are known for climbing, escaping and getting into trouble when bored. They need lots of exercise and mental stimulation, and they are happiest when given a job. Stoves are a real danger for any pet, since a burner can still be hot after cooking and some are touch-activated, so keep controls turned off and consider knob covers.

A dog on the counter may be looking for crumbs, so wipe up surfaces and keep food out of sight. Puzzle toys and daily runs can help a Husky avoid a life of crime.

She appears to be considering what to climb next. We can only hope the answer is a dog bed. Huskies have a long history of finding the highest point in any room, so a sturdy cat-style perch may suit her better than the stove. She also seems to be a dog who would appreciate a long run before supper, followed by a deep sleep.
