Litter of Irish Wolfhound Puppies Moves Like a Pack of Tiny Land Sharks
One of the biggest joys in the world is playing with a litter of puppies. Seeing all their energy and tiny paws with tails that quickly wag from side to side is 100% pure bliss. But all those puppies also come with a level of chaos that is a little reminiscent of something else.
This video shows exactly how chaotic a litter of puppies can be, and how all the little pups swarming around give off the same energy as land sharks.

On April 3, @hiddenhollow02 shared a video of a litter of really adorable Irish Wolfhound puppies swarming all around the person's feet. She's standing on the grass as all the little pups swirl around her, and it's so funny because it looks like she's standing in the water, and the little puppies and their gray coats look like they could be sharks.
The puppies, being puppies, get a little rowdier around her ankles, and seeing the gray swirling around her, she joked in the caption that these Irish Wolfhound puppies are "land sharks."

In the comments, people had a good time giggling at these silly puppies.
One person wrote, "My friend has a beautiful Irish Wolfhound that she brought with her when she moved from Ireland. She was looking for another but couldn't find any in the U.S."
Another shared, "Oh my god, I would give up land titles to own an Irish Wolfhound."
Someone else added, "Oh, gracious, my dream dog. Hope to have my dream come true soon!"
Other comments included, "Quite the pile of chaos you have accumulated," "It's so beautiful. I wish I could have one," "They're so cute," "Vicious and adorable," and "Velociraptors."

Irish Wolfhounds Look More Intimidating Than They Are
According to the American Kennel Club, Irish Wolfhounds, which are part of the hound group, are considered "dignified, courageous, and calm," which is funny because calm isn't a word many would use with puppies, especially not these "land sharks." But as they grow, their personalities mellow, and Irish Wolfhounds are very lovey-dovey, good with other dogs, and pretty OK with young children.
The club explains that Irish Wolfhounds look intimidating because of their size, but they're not great guard dogs because they're pretty calm and chill. These pups are "serene and agreeable" and can run really fast.
So if you have your very own land puppy, soak up all their silliness because they'll be fully grown before you know it.
