Husky’s Hilarious Bench Breaks, Is He Fat Shaming Owner

Quick Smiles:

• Husky Anuko hilariously pauses by benches, assuming his owner needs a break.
• Owner Jasmine Milton shares their amusing walks on TikTok, and it goes viral.
• Scientific study suggests dogs judge human competence, especially female dogs.

A delightful tale from the U.K. has taken social media by storm, featuring a Siberian husky named Anuko and his amusing antics during walks with his owner, Jasmine Milton.

In a video that has garnered over 1.9 million views on TikTok, Anuko is seen slowing down whenever a bench appears, casting a side-eye at Jasmine, as if anticipating her need for a rest.

“Nobody fat shames me like my dog who slows down and side eyes me every time we pass a bench on our walks,” reads the overlay text in the clip.

Jasmine shared that Anuko, despite being 11 years old, remains active and loves long hikes.

“I need to sit down for occasional breaks, which has turned into him eyeing up every bench we pass and casting me a judgmental side eye to see if I need to sit down again,” she said.

This isn’t the first time Anuko has gained attention for his expressive looks.

His grumpy expressions have made him a viral sensation before.

Interestingly, a study by scientists at Japan’s Kyoto University might shed light on Anuko’s behavior.

The research found that dogs, particularly female ones, tend to judge humans based on competence.

In the study, dogs observed humans attempting to open snack containers, with some succeeding and others failing repeatedly.

The dogs preferred to approach the competent humans, hoping for a treat.
