Dad Teaches 8-Week-Old Puppy How To Howl & It’s The Cutest Thing You’ll See All Day.

Four years ago, Mikael Cramer was just getting acquainted with Moose, his two-month-old beagle. And as all new dads are wont to do, he captured footage of as many firsts as he could.

One of those moments happened to occur in the spring of 2014; little Moose was perched on Mikael’s chest as Dad began to teach the tiny pup the art of the howl. Now, if you know anything about beagles, it’s probably that they’re not exactly quiet… so you’d think this would come naturally, right?

Well, at first, Moose seems more interested in nibbling on Dad’s fingers and licking his chin… but about 10 seconds in, the tiny tyke gets the hint and chimes in.

But only, of course, with as much fanfare as an itty-bitty puppy can muster.

“Don’t encourage it!”one viewer advised. “Once Beagles start howling, there’s no stopping them.â€

The exact birthplace of the beagle isn’t known, but their name is almost certainly derived from “begueule,”a French word that translates to “open throat.”As members of the hound group, beagles were historically used for hunting, alerting their handlers with loud brays and howls.

After a few years of practice, you’d think that Moose would have graduated from his ridiculously adorable, high-pitched puppy yips to the full-throttle howls of an adult…

But he’s four years old now, and in an update posted last fall, Mikael showed that his howl is hilariously unchanged.

Watch little Moose get his first lesson on a proper howl in the clip below, and share to spread some love for this sweetie!
