For a Mondu-loving dog, pumpkins are ideal. His mother gave him a little pumpkin when he was three years old. He loves it to the moon. Mondu and the pumpkin are almost inseparable. He also wouldn’t risk eating it.
Mondu’s universe is slightly more complete as long as they are together, though.
“He definitely has the Lab love of having things in his mouth and carrying things around, ” Nicolette James, Mondu’s mom, told The Dodo. “He also has a soft mouth, so he tends to be gentle with things. I gave him Pumpkin as a puppy and wanted to see if he would still like it.”
Luckily, Mondu didn’t only like it — he Beloved it. The happy pup took the pumpkin everywhere he went, making it his best friend. They even slept together in the grass.
“It has some teeth marks in it now and it’s getting a little gross,” James said. “He likes carrying it and flinging it around. He will toss it and try to attack it. He also just takes it and lays with it.”
Here’s a video of Mondu and his pumpkin:
The pumpkin-loving dog is not just obsessed with vegetables and fruits. James said that he treats everyone equally.
James says that he is affectionate and likes to feel a part of himself touch you. However, he is generally laid back. He is also quite perceptive to emotions; if you start sobbing, he will immediately come over to check what’s wrong.
Mondu is a reliable sidekick. If pumpkins were available all year, Mondu would be happy.
