This Woman Adopted a Tiny Dog, She Could Not Have Known What It Would Grow Up To Be!

Some Things You Should Know

There are a few things that need to be known about an Alaskan Malamute so that we can understand the magnitude of the situation Yumna was soon going to face. Malamute is thought to be a wolf and a dog crossbreed because of the way the look but there is some contention over this. What is definitely sure is that they are really powerful and hugely built. They shed A LOT because they have a double coat and their bones are heavier than most dogs.

Largest Arctic Dog

The Alaskan Malamute is the largest of the Arctic dogs. Their ears are erect on their heads that really increase their adorability quotient. It is important to note that Malamutes are not really obedient and can be really mischievous. They are known for their aggressive behavior but they are not too violent. And they need to exercise all the time or they can turn really destructive. But there is one more very interesting thing about this dog.

Prone To Dwarfism

It is sort of funny that the largest Arctic Dogs are prone to have born with Chondrodysplasia which is a form of Dwarfism. Yumna was probably aware of all these facts or maybe not. Malamutes can be a handful. However, Dwarfism was not an issue Yumna had to deal with, what came her way not only brought media attention to her but a massive amount of disbelief from the scientific community too. 

Homecoming

Yumna had met this little bundle of joy when he was just 2 weeks old. She had to wait some more weeks in order to bring him home. During that time she stuffed her house with toys this new member would later play with. He finally came to his new home and was friendly in the beginning. Yumna knew that the Malamute grows a little bigger as he grew older, she was not looking for a small dog breed anyway. But THIS would happen, she cannot have known. This is one of the first videos recorded when he was just new.

Tydus

Yumna named her new friend Tydus. Urban dictionary described the meaning of Tydus as “Giant Great Warrior”. “Strong, handsome, protector of his people. Great friend. Trustworthy. Sincere.” Well, some would think that this could well be describing the nature of most dogs. Tydus did grow up to be a handsome boy but Alaskan Malamute, as a rule, are not fit to be guards, being too protective is not in their natures. But this name strangely held a clue as to what was coming next.

All ‘Normal’

Tydus was a friendly boy who did not take a lot of time to settle in. Soon he had his own set of toys, utensils and his own territory in the house. Living up to the name of his breed Tydus was an active pup who loved to stay out in the open. And his new home provided him with ample green space. This is him at 8 weeks old. All seemed normal until that time. He was comfortable with his new family and they adored him.  It was only after a couple of months that Yumna figured that things were not all ‘normal.’
