Some dogs melt at the slightest pat, then there’s Mango — the fluffy embodiment of “no touching, thank you.” In a video shared by @mango.thesamoyed, the fluffy Samoyed is sprawled on his bed, just trying to exist in peace, when his owners suddenly decide it’s cuddle time.
The onscreen text flashes: “When we want cuddles but our dog wants personal space.” Once that caption pops up, you just know things are about to get uncomfortable — and sure enough, it’s awkward city from there. Mango ducks and dodges dad’s arms like he’s in a slow-motion action scene.
Samoyed is not interested in cuddling with owners in funny video
The video of the Samoyed and his owners, which has won hearts online, only gets funnier from there. His dad tries again — because of course he does — but Mango’s face says it all: absolutely not. He wriggles free like a fluffy eel and tries to get away, tail in the air, pride intact.
However, just when you think the drama is over, the video cuts to both pet parents joining hands in making this cuddle session possible. The dog mom and dad lift Mango up together, ready to give him a hug even if he doesn’t want one.
Thus, Mango has his paws go everywhere, his head craning back like he’s trying to leave his own body, and he gives his mom the world’s most dramatic side-eye. Despite his best efforts, his dad finally sits down, still holding onto him. His mom then adds reinforcement, using her leg to keep Mango from slipping away.
The words “good stuff” flash across the screen, although judging by Mango’s face, only the humans believe that. The post’s already racked up over 36K likes. The comments section is also full of people laughing at the pup’s misery.
One fan wrote, “If not cuddly, why cuddly shape?” Another joked, “The battle is worth it.” Poor Mango, he may be a fluffy and cuddly furbaby, but that doesn’t mean he signed up for full-contact affection.
