Adorable Puppy Pics Celebrate National Puppy Day

The Alaskan Malamute is one of the larger breeds of dogs in the world. They were originally bred for their strength and endurance to haul heavy freight as a sled dog and hound. They are similar to other arctic, husky, and spitz breeds such as the Greenland Dog, Canadian Eskimo Dog, the Siberian Husky, and the Samoyed.

This cute little puppy above is an Alaskan Malamute. He wants you to know that he’s -88not fat, he is just fluffy, considering that he has a double coating of fur primarily for cold climates. Another cute thing they do is, because they rarely bark, they communicate with you through their “woo woo” sounds or long howls.
