The Greenland Dog experience
You know you're a Greenland Dog owner when...
●The howl. Not a bark, Greenland Dogs barely bark. It's a full-throated, primordial howl that starts low and builds until your neighbors three streets over are texting you.
●The 'I heard you, I'm choosing not to respond' look. Recall training isn't failing, your Greenland Dog has simply weighed your request against their own priorities and found it lacking.
●That moment in winter when the temperature drops below freezing and your dog comes ALIVE, zoomies in the snow, rolling, biting ice chunks, while you stand there losing feeling in your fingers.
●The coat blow. Twice a year, your house becomes a fur factory. You could stuff a pillow. You could stuff several pillows. You find undercoat in your coffee.
●Watching them dig. Not a polite little scratch, a full archaeological excavation that hits dirt, then clay, then possibly bedrock, in under ninety seconds.
