"Huskies need a job. P howled at the moon. When we thought he would be afraid of the older dogs we had, but instead ran into the living room and belly flopd’ on them. He patrolled the pool. He always tore up a plant when a stranger came into the backyard to let them know - 'I’m crazy' - and don’t come closer," Cody wrote on social media.

When Rhodes was going through something, Pharaoh was right there by his side.
