As proud dog owners, we know that our pups love nothing more than curling up next to us for a good nap. Playing and going for walks might top their lists, but napping beside us is definitely a strong contender, and let’s face it, it’s one of our favorite activities too. Many dogs develop such a bond with their owners that they don’t like being apart—even at bedtime. While this could indicate mild to serious separation anxiety, it’s safe to assume that our pups just genuinely enjoy our company.
When a dog owner from Florida allowed his pup, Fendi, to nap in his bed, he was in for a surprise. Initially, he thought about waking her up to return to her own bed, but when he gently tried to rouse her, he noticed something strange: she wasn’t moving at all. That’s when he realized she was faking it—keeping her eyes closed and pretending to sleep just to convince him she was out cold.
What Is He Doing?
Despite being called a “faker” multiple times and being told that her owner was aware she was awake, Fendi remained resolute, determined to continue her guise of sleeping. Moving would require too much effort. Fortunately for her owner, he managed to capture the entire hilarious moment on camera and shared it on TikTok.
The Internet’s Reaction Is Hilarious
After the video went live, it quickly gained traction, garnering thousands of comments from amused viewers who shared their own interpretations of Fendi’s antics. One viewer humorously noted, “That’s clearly someone who just worked a double shift! Let her sleep!”
Another person chimed in, “Me pretending to be asleep in the car so my dad would carry me upstairs to bed.” This sentiment resonated with many as they recognized the familiar scenario of pretending to sleep to avoid effort.
One last comment summed it up: “I feel like she looked like she was fighting a laugh like little kids pretending to sleep.” I’d say Fendi knew exactly what she was doing and felt no guilt about her antics. This whole situation was not only hilarious, but it also warmed the hearts of viewers who appreciated the humor in their pups’ clever behavior.
