Some dogs abhor bath time. Even if it is easy and fun, some dogs do not like the idea of getting cleaned through bath time. Phil, an Alaskan Malamute, is no stranger to this narrative. In a video that has 6.5 million views, the pooch showed how much he does not like bath time.
As an Alaskan Malamute, Phil is undeniably a large dog. This makes his skin very thick as well as susceptible to dirt and germs. This is why his parents know that the pooch needs bath time regularly. The pooch, however, seems hard-headed whenever it is bathing time.
According to the dog’s owners, Phil frown upon the idea of taking a bath. The parents do not know the reason behind it, but for them, they tried every possible remedy for this, but to no avail. For one, they would often lure the pooch with his favorite snacks for him to get cleaned. Phil, though, would throw tantrums whenever the parents decide to bathe him.
In the viral video, Phil tried to crawl under his baby sister’s bouncy chair when his dad wanted to bring him inside the bathtub. It was a cute encounter because the pooch showed how much he hated the idea of cleaning himself.
When the dog’s parents got fed up, they tried to give the pooch peanut butter. Phil likes peanut butter, but this time, the dog is not buying it. To Phil’s mind, the peanut butter is a scapegoat to fool him into taking a bath. After some time, Phil’s dad was able to force the pooch to do the bath time. It was a struggle, though, because Phil kept on wagging his body. Eventually, the bath time succeeded, and the pooch was clean and fragrant again.
