A Husky named Levi is discovering that life with newborn twins is not for the faint of heart. The expressive working dog lies on the living room floor while two swaddled newborn babies cry on the sofa behind him, and instead of staying quiet, he decides to offer commentary.
The Husky reaction to crying babies is pure Husky. He throws his head back and howls dramatically, without even bothering to get up off the floor, as if personally offended by the lack of peace. It is not aggressive, but it is not subtle. It is a full performance. Just a really lazy one.
@levithehuskyrescue shared this video with a caption that reads, “My Husky is so exhausted from the newborn trenches that he doesn’t even bother to get up to tell me they’re crying anymore,” and continues, “Yes, he yells at me whenever they cry, only now, it’s a little less enthusiastically.”

You can see it. Levi looks like a dad who has been up for three straight nights and has simply reached his limit. He doesn’t even stand up to alert anyone anymore. He just howls from the floor like a tired middle manager clocking overtime.
“Newborn twins AND a Husky. Y’all really hate sleep and peace, don’t you?” one person wrote.
“Bless him, he’s just a single mom who works two jobs. He deserves a tropical vacation!” another added.
Someone else said, “Two newborns and two Huskies? Oh, I’m praying for you,” while another shared, “My Husky used to get so mad at me when my daughter started crying. I was never moving fast enough for her. She gave me an F for my parenting.”

That seems to be the case with Levi, too. His howling feels less like annoyance and more like deep concern mixed with exhaustion. “Poor Levi, being a big brother must be exhausting,” someone commented, and that pretty much sums it up.
I have to admit, when my babies were little, I only had cats. They never cried at the sound of a baby. They did, however, fully claim the crib and bassinet as premium nap real estate whenever they could. Not helpful, but very committed to comfort.
Levi, on the other hand, has taken on the role of vocal newborn supervisor. Whether anyone asked him to or not.
Why Huskies Are Great Dogs for Kids
Huskies are known for being social, expressive, and highly bonded to their families. While they can be loud and dramatic, that communication style often comes from a strong attachment and awareness of what is happening in the home.
They are energetic and playful, which can make them wonderful companions for older kids who can match their activity level. With proper training and supervision, many Huskies are gentle and protective with younger children as well. Their pack-oriented nature means they often view babies and kids as part of their group.
