When dogs are still at the puppy stage, they have quite a lot to learn. They need to figure out how to pee on a pad, memorize important tricks, and let out a proper howl. Howling is a crucial part of being a dog, and despite the fact that it’s an animal instinct, it’s still fun to teach a puppy to verbally express themselves. That’s exactly what this owner did with his adorable little guy, and it’s super cute.

If you didn’t think this was adorable, then I’m afraid I’ve got some bad news: you’re a robot that isn’t capable of feeling emotions. Watching a puppy do pretty much anything will make my heart melt, so I’m fairly certain that I’m not a robot. I think.
