An Alaskan Malamute is a big, fluffy dog that’s very smart and has a big personality.
They’re lovable dogs that make great family pets.
Generally, Alaskan Malamutes are sociable and outgoing.
This charming dog breed is even more adorable when well-trained.
They’re loyal and affectionate, and funnily enough, act like big babies sometimes, just like Phil.
A couple from the U.K. recently shared a funny video of their Malamute, Phil, hiding because it was time for his bath.
Apparently, Phil loves the water – he has no problem jumping in a lake or a sea.
But for some reason, he hates baths.
Considering he spends a lot of time frolicking through muddy fields and swimming in dirty water, it’s comical how there’s a sudden aversion when it’s time to step in the tub.
After playing outdoors and getting all sorts of grime on his fur, Phil also doesn’t mind when his mom hoses him down before letting him back inside the house.
And since that isn’t enough to get rid of the smell, a bath is drawn for the 100-lb. dog.
Despite Phil’s love for jumping in cold lakes and seas, his mom refuses to bathe him outside, especially during winter. And instead of being happy about being bathed in a tub with warmer water, Phil responds by “hiding”.
Because he’s such a big baby, he also believes that keeping his head down and trying to fit in the space between the tub and the wall will make him invisible to his mom and dad.
Phil continues to avoid going in the tub by somehow staying low and making it even more challenging to move him.
Even the couple’s baby, Mia, and their pet cat, Milo, are witnesses to Phil’s hilarious antics.
And speaking of Mia and Milo, Phil tries to hide behind them, too!
At some point, Milo was even asked to show Phil that bath time isn’t at all bad.
And in true cat fashion, Milo just sort of looked around at everyone in the room before jumping off the edge of the tub and lazily walking out of the bathroom.
You’ll hear a lot of coaxing and giggling as Phil’s mom and dad try to convince him to step into the tub for his much-needed bath.
Phil responds by either looking up at them with puppy dog eyes, avoiding their gaze and hiding, or keeping his body low so he can’t easily be carried.
What makes the entire thing even funnier is how the baby and the cat just look on curiously as Phil does everything he can to avoid taking a bath.
He’s even mastered pulling a long face and genuinely acting like he feels sorry for himself.
And in the end, Phil had to be carried and put in the tub by his dad. And even if he wasn’t so happy about it, he did finally get the bath he very much needed.
