For the past two weeks, a new star has risen from the depths of User Sub and into the hearts of Imgurians. With his big paws and derpy smile, it’s not hard to see why Phil the Alaskan Malamute has gained so many fans so quickly.
It all began a mere two weeks ago, with this post.
After a humble beginning, it only took Phil two days until he was reaching Most Viral on a daily basis.
There’s a Phil for any occasion and all times of the year. We’ve seen Halloween Phil…
…and Christmas Phil.
Imgurians started to notice Phil as more than just a dog; he was a ray of sunshine, a positive force in a sometimes dark world, a paw to hold in times of sadness. They dubbed him “St. Phil, the Patron Saint of Fluff and Joy.”
They began to draw him…

…and make posts declaring his excellence.
The comments on all his posts reflect the community’s love for Phil.

In a similar fashion to the “BILL! BILL! BILL!” comments that adorn posts featuring Bill Nye, Imgurians have taken to chanting “PHIL! PHIL! PHIL!”

It wasn’t just the humans who noticed Phil, dogs did too!
Soon Phil had two paw pals.
He of course wrote back to both of them.
If you look carefully, you can almost guarantee to see Phil’s happy face beaming from somewhere on Imgur. If you want to see more Phil, you can now follow him on the Imgur apps!
EDIT: since publishing this blog, it became known that Phil’s real owner is @Lifewithmalamutes.
