This Samoyed Won't Stop Looking Back at His Human During Walks-and There's a Reason Why
Being a dog parent means making time each day for exercise so they can stay their happiest selves. In an ideal situation, you'd exercise with them because it's good for you and your pup, and it's a fun way to bond and spend time together. Some dogs really get into their walks, while others are a little more relaxed about them. But some really make spending time together special.
In this video, we meet a sweet Samoyed who won't stop looking back at his human during their walks, and there's a very interesting reason why.

original sound - Nube The Samoyed
The video, shared on April 1 by @nubethesamoyed, shows an adorable Samoyed out for a walk with his family. They're taking a scenic stroll along the beach, and the water and the sand look so relaxing. Such a beautiful way to take in some daily exercise.
It's a beautiful place to run out some energy, but the look on Nube's face the whole time is probably the best part of this whole clip. He keeps looking up to his human with the biggest smile on his face. All to make sure they are having just as good a time as he is. It's impossible to have any other mood than absolutely elated from all the views in this clip.

Samoyed Dogs Are Great Exercise Companions
Nube, the Samoyed, genuinely looks like he loves going outside for walks, and that the exercise rejuvenates him and fills his heart with happiness. That's pretty expected with this beautiful breed.
According to Dogster, Samoyeds need lots of exercise to be their happiest and healthiest selves. Having at least 1 hour set aside for exercise each day is essential for the breed, but experts note that, ideally, 2 hours of exercise should be allotted. Of course, that doesn't have to be all in one go; it can be broken down into 30-minute intervals, like short-leashed walks, sledding, training classes, or swimming, all of which are great options, too.
Dogster also suggests playing an hour of chase or fetch as another great way to get your Samoyed some exercise each day. Both are great ways for them to burn off their energy without it being too much energy for you.
But if your pup looks at you the same way that this Samoyed looks at his family, you'll be more than happy to spend any and all time with them.
