A Husky Turned the Living Room Into a Snowfield and Looked Surprised
Ice-blue eyes stare out from the gray and white face of a Siberian Husky, who sits in a living room covered in white stuffing. Pieces of torn fabric lie across the floor, a basket and a few shoes sit nearby, and the sofa behind him is missing most of its cushions. He sits very still, ears upright and mouth closed, like a dog who has just realized how big the project was.
Siberian Huskies were bred to pull sleds across long distances, so they have enormous stamina and a strong need to run. A Husky who does not get enough exercise can turn destructive, and couches are an easy target. Long daily runs or hikes, along with training games and puzzle toys, can keep a Husky calm. They are also famous for their howling and for being escape artists, so a secure yard is a must. If he swallowed any stuffing or fabric, talk to your vet, since these can cause blockages. A tired Husky is a happy and gentle companion.
He has done an impressive job in a short time, and he looks a little surprised by the result. The sofa will need replacing, but the snowy scene he created is rather pretty. Somewhere inside, a very proud sled dog is wondering what to do next. For a dog bred to run for miles, a sofa was never going to be a match.
