A big furry husky named Taco has gone viral for refusing (repeatedly) to give its spot on the couch to its owner, leaving the internet in stitches.
In the video shared on Reddit, the dog’s owner can be heard asking Taco to leave, as he wants to sit on the couch and there’s no more room, but the dog refuses multiple times, howling at him to just stop trying, because it’s not happening.
At some point, noticing his “father” wouldn’t give up, Taco turned to his “mom” for approval, and when she confirmed he needed to leave, the dog listened immediately, leaving his favorite spot.
The video, which was shared on Tuesday by u/stoolie926 in the popular pet subreddit r/WhatsWrongWithYourDog, has so far reached over 31,800 upvotes and 450 comments.
According to the American Kennel Club, huskies are very open to strangers, they’re every man’s best friend. They want to play all the time.
Their usual height is about 21-23.5 inches for male dogs and around 20-22 inches for female dogs. Their life expectancy is usually between 12-14 years.
