Huskies Host 'Dogsgiving' Meal for Their Canine Friends in Adorable Video

A pair of huskies enjoyed a Thanksgiving to remember after their owners organized a special "Dogsgiving" and invited a bunch of their canine friends.

In a clip shared to TikTok by the Husky Fam, sibling dogs Kakoa and Sky can be seen eagerly awaiting the arrival of their guests in front of a table full of food, including what appears to be a turkey.

As the video progresses, each of the pooch pals makes an entrance. Some of the doggy diners arrive right on time, while others drop in much later in the day and likely had to make do with the leftovers.

The video has been watched 2.1 million times.

While the food that appears in the video would undoubtedly have looked appetizing to the Dogsgiving's guests, those thinking of hosting a similar holiday feast for their canine friends should exercise caution when it comes to serving meat. Ham is a very fatty meat, for example, and should be avoided because it can lead to gastrointestinal distress and pancreatitis in dogs.

Giving canines meat with bones of any kind should also be avoided. Carly Fox, senior veterinarian at the Schwarzman Animal Medical Center in New York City, told Newsweek that although dogs are known to eat bones, consumption can lead to gastrointestinal problems like vomiting and diarrhea.

In rare cases, bones can lead to gastric or intestinal obstruction or esophageal obstruction, which can require emergency endoscopic removal.

It's also important to make sure that any meat served to a canine is thoroughly cooked, especially in the case of turkey or chicken. Raw meat containing salmonella bacteria can result in serious illness for a dog

If all the necessary steps are taken to ensure pet safety, a Dogsgiving could be the perfect way to include your four-legged friends in the Thanksgiving celebrations while ensuring that they won't be begging for scraps later.

Kakoa and Sky certainly appeared to be excited at the prospect of their dog dinner, and they are not the only ones, based on the video.

As the clip shows, the two huskies hosted no fewer than four fellow dogs for the Thanksgiving feast. The first was Nala, who arrived five minutes early and, according to the on-screen caption, "only came for the pumpkin pie."

Fellow husky Max was next through the door, arriving "fashionably late" just after dinner was served at 4 p.m. and "called dibs on the turkey." Molly the Labrador followed soon afterward, and, as the accompanying caption explains, she could "smell a good time coming."

Last but definitely not least came Corky the pug, who bounced in at 6 p.m., which was "better late than never," although he was probably facing a dinner of leftovers because of his tardiness.

It's not clear how well the Dogsgiving dinner went down with the huskies and their canine guests, but it's certainly proved popular on social media, if the comments accompanying the clip are anything to go by.

User Maris.uh said, "This is the cutest thing ever," and SimplyIcedTea_0 agreed, saying, "This is so heartwarming!"

User _emmy.xoxo__ wrote, "I'm so doing this next year," while brae.surromon asked, "How do you all have such well behaved pups?! That's amazing."

Newsweek has contacted the Husky Fam for comment.
