Cudi the Puppy's Firetruck Siren Howl Goes Viral
The 9-month-old dog's instinctive response to a firetruck siren captivates millions on TikTok, highlighting the enduring charm of our canine companions and their deep-seated instincts.
- Cudi, a 9-month-old puppy, has become a viral sensation after his owner, Corey Mannicci, posted a video on TikTok of Cudi howling in response to a firetruck siren.
- The video, posted on January 9th, has amassed over 2.2 million views and more than half a million likes.
- Dogs' instinctual howling is typically attributed to their ancestral ties to wolves, who use howling as a form of communication or to signal a potential threat.
- While Cudi's howling has charmed the internet, experts note that excessive howling can be problematic and suggest ignoring the behavior or rewarding silence with treats or praise.
- Cudi's selective howling suggests that it's not a frequent behavior, as he is known to howl only in response to firetruck sirens.
