‘I wouldn’t have forgiven myself if I gave up on him knowing how much he adores me.’: A man and his Malinois’ turbulent adoption journey turns incredibly sweet as the puppy turns from a tiny terror into a cuddly cutie after a month of diligent training

Adopting a puppy is no easy task. Sure, there are tons of moments of blissful joy and happiness that you might not get from an older doggo. But at the same time, there are just as many puddles of mystery wetness, unwanted 'gifts' planted in your slippers and puppy teeth sized holes that have been gnawed into every piece of furniture and clothing that you own. Because life is a matter of balance, and when you turn up the cute that high, there is inevitably going to be a downside to it. Then you add to that the fact that the puppy in this story turn out to be a Belgian Malinois and you have a whole other kettle of fish on your hands.

For these doggos are known to be the most energetic breed out there. The kind of doggo who could out pace every hooman on a 100-mile ultra marathon with ease and still have energy leftover. But thankfully, through perseverance and a whole lot of love, the hooman who brought this pawdorable pupper into their life managed to make the best of things and with a lot of training and patience, helped his pupper become the best friend he ever had.
