Dog owners know how much their pets can act like kids. While a vast majority of dogs listen when they are told to do something, some dogs feel the need to talk back.

Siberian huskies are known for their vocalization and giving their owners sass when they don’t get their way. A vocalizing husky in one video has gone viral on YouTube with over 23 million views.

Zeus is told to get out of the bathtub

In the video, a husky named Zeus is in the bathtub when his mom tells him to get out. Of course, Zeus does not want to and commences whining and complaining. According to Zeus’ mom, he likes taking baths and was determined to do so on that particular morning.

Of course, his mom was wanting him to get out of the bathtub to go for a walk.

Zeus is determined to stay in the tub

As his mom begged him to get out, Zeus only became more determined. As Zeus’ howls intensify, it sounds like he is saying a resounding “Nooooooooo!” But his mom was determined not to give up as she continued to coax the stubborn husky to do as she was asking.

Zeus eventually comes around

Eventually, cooler heads prevailed and Zeus’ mom was able to convince him to get out of the tub and go for a walk. Fortunately, she was able to take a video of the hilarious interaction. After it was posted online, the video went viral, and in addition to getting over 23 million views, it got 138,000 likes on YouTube.

Why do huskies vocalize?

Exactly why do huskies feel the need to vocalize as much as they do? In some cases, it almost sounds like they are trying to talk. And while dogs do not have the capacity for vocalization like humans, they do have some similar reasons for using their howls.

Communication

For the most part, huskies use their voice to communicate. This can be to communicate with other huskies or dogs, or humans, most especially their parents.

When talking to their owners, huskies use their vocalization to tell them when they want something, need to go out, or in Zeus’ case, when they are displeased.

Responding to other sounds

Huskies are also known for using their howls to respond to outside sounds. The most common incidents happen when a husky hears a favorite song on the TV or radio and feels the need to sing along.

Some other sounds that get a response out of a husky include sirens or a baby crying. Most of the time, a husky mistakes these as distress sounds from a packmate and respond accordingly.

But don’t let a husky’s vocalization fool you. This dog breed is one of the most loyal and loving you will find out there. If you have a husky, count yourself lucky if they love you enough to look at you as a part of their pack.
