He’s an Alaskan Malamute, 100 lbs of muscle, 50 lbs of floof & is my heart dog. 💕
Shelley Norman Monahan, the owner of Bane, pointed out that besides being a 3-year-old, 100 lb Alaskan malamute, he loves to cuddle and never misses a chance to be the “little” spoon in bed. Her family got him when he was only a 4-month-old puppy and, well, instantly fell in love with him. “Bane is my heart dog. I’m absolutely 100% obsessed with him! His hugs calm me, he’ll wrap his head around my neck and I instantly feel better because of his calming presence and sweet spirit,” shared the young woman, stressing Bane’s superpower to enchant whoever he encounters.
She was pleasantly impressed and surprised when one time, at an outdoor festival, an actual line of people wanting to pet the friendly giant formed. “It was the funniest thing. I was with my girls getting their faces painted, looked over, and saw my husband with a legit line to pet him,” laughed Shelley, who is a visual artist just outside Chicago, IL. One of Bane’s favorite pastimes is running all around the dog park and saying hi to the humans as he plays with other dogs. Bane behaves his best when walked by their 12-year-old and Shelley pointed out that this normally attracts weird looks from passersby because of his size.
Shelley thought that her furry giant would be perfect for the #ModelChallenge as he’s very photogenic and the picture happened to be one of the best ones she has ever taken of him as that very moment, he was distracted by some ducks in the distance. The dog lover admitted that the attention blew her mind with 18k likes and 1.4 comments.
Over the past years internet has seen many trends such as I Did It For My Dog Challenge and Shedding Dog Challenge which was also featured on our website.
The determined canine enthusiasts have been actively participating in showing off their pooches and it seems that there’s definitely more to come.
Among the dedicated dog lovers is Clark McFarland with whom Bored Panda got in touch with that submitted a picture of his 4.5 year old golden retriever Braxton catching some delightful rays of sun. Both living in Woodlands, Texas, they raked thousands of likes and amiable comments with their #ModelChallange entry.
“I love the Golden Retriever Club and just decided to give the model challenge a go. He’s extremely photogenic so it makes sense! I absolutely love all doggos. They are the best companions and I’m not so sure what I would have done without Braxton throughout the weird quarantine year of 2020!”, admitted Clark.
The young American also laughed that Braxton the dog is kinda his doppelgänger and that they sometimes even act alike. “He’s a goofy boy and still has the energy of a puppy. He loves meeting new friends and especially new people! He knows loads of tricks and loves fetching his tennis ball”. Their favourite pastime is to look for outdoor adventures and challenge themselves to walking trails and nature preserves.
Calling himself "Embarrassing Dog Dad," Clark has created an Instagram account for his best furry friend, which you can check out here.

He works completely from sign language as he was born deaf, it makes taking photos of him so easy as he doesn't get distracted at all. 🥰
