When I was younger, I wanted my life to be like Eight Below [1], the movie about a group of sled dogs and their special bond with their guide — minus being trapped in an arctic snowstorm. But seriously, who didn't want a whole pack of furry friends [2]? Fast forward to 2020, and I discover a family basically living out my dreams in New Hampshire with a house full of eight Siberian huskies [3]. Call me a little jealous!
Nova, Akira, Mina, Sienna, Trevao, Cyrus, Cyprus, and Tundra make up the pack and range in age from 1 to 6 years old. I'm currently trying to figure out how I can integrate myself into their lives. Though I've decided if I can't have them, I'll settle for the next best thing and obsessively follow them on social media. Lucky for all of us, their owners document a lot of the pups' lives on Instagram [4] and TikTok [5] (@eight_fluffytails). Take a look at these 30 pictures and videos of some of their cutest moments, and tell me you're not in love with them, too!

This would 100 percent be my face if I ever got to meet these babies in person.
