 She brings a puppy home, and then things start to get out of hand. Yamuna thought she knew everything there was to know about motherhood. She read the books, watched tutorials, and even attended classes. But there was one aspect that no one could help her with. Yamuna thought she knew what she was getting herself into. She had done the research, read the reviews, searched the internet for a suitable breed. She made all the necessary purchases dog bed. Collar, lead, shampoo, engraved tag. She thought she was ready for the commitment. But as he began to outgrow his bed and collar and lead, she began to worry. Then, the unimaginable happened. When Yamuna Saluji managed to get herself into a stable job, and a comfortable financial state, there was one thing on her mind. Some had a long mental shopping list handbags, shoes, jewels, tech, but this South African. Woman didn't care for any material possessions. Ever since she was a girl, Yamuna dreamed of having a companion. Her parents thought the years would bring her sense. A dog was a lifetime commitment. But the opposite happened. Yamuna wasn't fussy when it came to dogs. As long as it had four fluffy legs, she was happy. She was the person who stopped to rub every animal she passed. When the time came for her to adopt, she had to choose a breed. Most consider the size of the animal before adoption. Chihuahua didn't need much food or space. Irish wolfhounds required hours of exercise and a large amount of food. How could she just choose one? Yamuna scoured the internet for weeks on end. If she was doing this, she was determined to find the dog of her dreams. She searched hashtags and scrolled through hundreds of pictures on Instagram Beagles, Huskies, Pugs, Boxers, Sheetsoos, Dalmatians, Terriers, Collies. The more she searched, the harder it was to choose. Then, her pupils widened. Yamuna jumped with delight at the picture of an Alaskan Malamute. The tiny puppy on her screen was the cutest creature she had ever seen. She immediately googled the breed, bookmarking pages and sharing information pages with friends and family. They're wolf-like facial markings and long coats intrigued here. Where were these beasts from? Alaskan Malamutes are the oldest Arctic sled dogs. Thousands of years ago, the dogs were used by Eskimos traveling from Siberia to Alaska. They were also used as protection against polar bears and to hunt and catch seals. Once upon a time, these canines were the most valuable companions in the Arctic. But Yamuna had never even heard of them before. Where could she find one? It took many calls and emails, but Yamuna eventually tracked down a breeder whose female just had pups. Yamuna ran out the door so quickly, she only realized her shoes were untied when she arrived. The pups were only two weeks old. They were little balls of fur. Snuggled against their mother, but the runt was struggling to climb over his brothers and sisters. She reached forward and lifted him into her arms. When he looked up at her, her heart melted. This was her dog. But he was so weak and tiny. Would he make it? I fell in love the second I held him, Yamuna shared. Unfortunately, Yamuna had to say goodbye to the love of her life, who needed more time with his mother. Her heart ached more and more with every passing week. She showed. A picture of him to every dog owner she met in the park. He's called Titus. It means great, giant warrior, she couldn't contain her excitement. When the big day finally came to pick him up, she was in for a surprise. Yamuna knew Alaskan Malamutes were big dogs. When she brought Titus home for the first time, he had already grown six times in size since the first time they met. He quickly got acquainted with his new home. Yamuna pulled out all the stops with a personalized bowel, a soft bed, and a basket of toys to keep him occupied. Yamuna thought she was ready for parenthood, but she was in for a massive surprise. Alaskan Malamutes are famous for their friendly personality and intelligence. Titus had a big personality forever playful and cheeky. He was hard work, but he was worth it. As the months went by, Titus continued to grow, surpassing every dog in their area. Male Malamutes usually weight 85 pounds and stand at 25 inches. Giant Malamutes can sometimes reach 140 pounds. Still a puppy, Titus weighed an impressive 120 pounds. Yamuna had her hands full with this lively dog. Yamuna had to train Titus fast. More of a bear than a dog, the friendly giant was too friendly with strangers, often jumping up to greet them before knocking them to the ground. Titus was never shy. He loved attention, but Yamuna worried he would accidentally hurt a child while out for a walk. His fluffiness is the first thing that catches attention than his size, she explained. His frame and energy levels continued to grow. But Titus was a very smart, young boy, and he loved his treats. Although Yamuna managed to train Titus how to behave in public, he's still her big baby. His hugs knock her to the ground and he jumps on her lap just as he did as a puppy. Unaware of his size or weight, Titus can't help but show his affection. He still plays, runs, and jumps, just as he did the first time he arrived home for Yamuna. Now four years old, he still hasn't grown out of his playful ways. I don't think he will get any bigger now, and that's okay. I might get crushed if he does. Yamuna has managed to train this giant warrior. But in the comfort of their own home, he still remains the playful puppy she fell in love with all those years ago. Yamuna always knew her boy was special. She decided to share him with the world. And when it was time to welcome a new member to the family, he couldn't have been more excited. Yamuna and Titus adopted Tres, the Congo-Afreic and Gray Parrot. Yamuna decided to share their small family portrait online and became an overnight sensation. The Tres and Titus Instagram account now has over 150,000 followers, all infatuated by their unique little family. Yamuna always knew Titus was special so. She was happy to share him with the world. Wherever we go, even just for a walk around the block, we get stopped and asked about his size, age and most often, what breed is he? I guess it's not often that you see a lion dog walking the street. If his looks didn't get your attention, his personality definitely will, Yamuna explained. He has an amazing soul that earns everyone's affection. He's a little charmer or giant charmer. They're small. Family has become an internet sensation, sending hearts all over the world into overdrive. And Titus has no problem sharing the spotlight with his best friend, Tres. These two are definitely destined for fame.
