Five Puppies Moved Into a Knit Sweater and Called It Home

A chunky cream sweater has become a nest for five white puppies, and every one of them is peering out from a different fold. Two heads rest on the edge of the knit, one pup looks up from the center, and the others are tucked down low with just their noses and ears showing. The wool is nearly the same color as their coats, so the whole group looks like a single woolly creature with ten ears.

Puppies love snuggling in clothing for a simple reason: it smells like their people. A worn sweater or T-shirt can comfort a young dog who is adjusting to a new home, especially at night. Placing something with your scent in her bed is an old and well-loved trick. The one caution is chewing. Yarn and loose threads can be swallowed, which may cause serious blockages, so keep an eye on pups and take away anything they start to unravel.

Samoyeds are known as an affectionate, people-focused breed. They were bred to work closely with their families in a harsh climate, and the bond shows in how much they like to stay near their humans. That closeness is wonderful, but it also means they may struggle with long stretches alone, so gradual practice with short absences is helpful.

This crew has plainly solved the problem of warmth on its own, with five fluffy bodies and one very large sweater.
