One dog’s way of showcasing his impatience on a slow walk with his owner has left people in stitches.
Odin, a 15-month-old Husky has captured attention for his entertaining habit of pulling himself forward on hind legs during walks.
The pup lives in Dubai with owner Irm, who told Newsweek: “He only does it when he’s too excited or sometimes when I walk slow. It’s his way of telling me, Mom, why you so slow—let’s go.”
Learning to walk on a leash is an essential skill for any dog, and it can take a little bit of time to get them used to it during training.
Pulling on the leash isn’t unusual, especially when your dog is excited to take a walk.
The video of Odin was shared on Reddit’s r/AnimalsBeingDerps subreddit where it has over 11,000 upvotes.
“I posted it on Reddit because people like and enjoy content like this,” said Irm. “I happened to make that funny video of my Husky, and I thought, okay, why not. I honestly did not expect this many people to like the video, and the response was great.”
In hundreds of comments, people shared their reactions to Odin’s funny behavior.
“He’s trying to get the sled to speed up,” joked one Redditor, referencing the dog’s Husky heritage.
While another joked that it was: “The doggie equivalent of vroom vroom!”
Other replies even shared some tips and ideas for how the owner could prevent the pulling in the future. On commenter said: “From one Husky owner to another, get a front-clipping harness! It makes walking much better.”
In the video, Odin energetically pulled himself forward on his hind legs, clearly conveying his desire for a quicker pace. Viewers fell in love with Odin’s spirited personality, with many praising his intelligence and endearing impatience.
“I liked the funny comments which Redditors are really creative for,” said Irm.
But not all of the comments were positive, as some people questioned the dog’s training. But the owner explained: “Some people assumed that my dog is poorly trained judging from a few seconds clip, but that’s not the case at all,” said Irm. “He’s trained on both collar and harness. He’s smart, affectionate, and very much loved.”
