Anyone who’s ever owned a dog knows—these four-legged companions are like children. They feel emotions, they sulk, and sometimes, they even cry. Don’t believe it? Just take one look at this heartbroken pup, and you might change your mind.
Recently, a video went viral in China showing an Alaskan Malamute named Hamburg, lying on a hospital bench and howling in misery. The sight, and especially the long, sorrowful wails, captured the attention of many netizens.
Hamburg is just over a year old. According to his owner, he had gotten into a fight with another dog in the house—and lost. His eye was injured in the scuffle, so his owner brought him to the vet. But what stunned everyone wasn’t just the injury—it was what happened after.
Hamburg wouldn’t stop crying.
He lay on the bench, wailing as if his world had collapsed. His owner tried to comfort him, but nothing worked. The poor dog just kept howling, drawing attention from everyone at the clinic.
“He might look big and strong, but Hamburg is actually super sensitive,” said the owner. “Since he was little, whenever he got scolded or upset, he’d howl like this.”
Apparently, the crying wasn’t just because of the pain—it was because he lost the fight. His pride had taken a serious hit, and the emotional damage ran deep.
Despite the touching scene, netizens couldn’t help but laugh. Comments flooded in:
“Now the whole internet knows he lost the fight and cried about it. That’s rough, buddy.”
“I’ve never seen a dog cry like this—it’s both hilarious and heartbreaking.”
“My stubby-legged corgi fights with the neighbor’s dog all the time. He’s got scars to prove it, but he’s never once cried. This Malamute is on another level!
In the end, Hamburg’s dramatic breakdown has become a source of both sympathy and laughter online—a reminder that even the toughest-looking dogs might just be giant softies inside.
