Video: Maltese Gives Owner the Paw but Not in the Conventional Sense

One skill that every dog knows is shaking paws with their owners. It is the first thing that every pet lover teaches their furry pals. However, if your pet is something like this pup, be ready for an unconventional way of shaking the paw. The hilarious reaction of the Maltese in the viral video has left many social media users giggling, fetching more than 65k likes at the time of writing. 

Maltese hands owner the back paw when asked in viral video

Handshakes or pawshakes are one of the first things that a pooch learns to develop a friendship with hoomans. While many fur babies give their front paws, this Maltese, Kenny, does something unique. The pet parent has captured her pet’s hilarious response and uploaded it to the account of @kennyfromtiktok. 

In the clip, when the pet owner asks Kenny for his “paw,” the white fur baby gets up, moves around, and gives his back paw for shaking. The reaction of the Maltese even left the dog mom amused, who says in the video, “back one it is. Will shake on it. Love you.” And before anyone else could pinpoint, the owner admitted Kenny is not at fault as “technically,” she “didn’t specify which one.”

Looking at the cute response of the puppy and his owner, many netizens went gaga over the Instagram clip. One user mentioned, “A paw is a paw.” While another person commented, “i love kenny’s humor.” While a few even responded to the mom’s question, “does anyone else’s dog ever” behave like Kenny, one replied, “your dog is the first one.” 

However, some even spoke for Kenny, clarifying about his hind leg shaking. One person said, “He said ‘I just clean the first two so here take this one.’” While another user mentioned, “Doggo- You never mentioned which paw.”
