She's still half asleep and already wiggling. Doesn't even open her eyes first, just knows.

u/Tracy-Holmes 1d ago
I love as she wiggled her body

u/SlowWally 22h ago
The pre-emptive wiggle is the best part, she's basically vibrating with joy before she's even conscious

u/AggravatingImpact906 1d ago
That little wiggle before the eyes even open is way too cute. She already knows exactly what’s happening before the day has even started.

Their power of smell is hundreds or thousands of times more powerful than ours. They understand the world through smells the most.
To compare, the difference in our ability to smell and a middle-of-the-pack dog's ability is the difference between bears and dogs. Bears' smell-factor is like 5,000,000 and ours is 361.

u/SharpRoll5848 21h ago
That comparison did not help at all lmao. Ive never been a bear.

u/Enoch-Of-Nod 15h ago
Ok well by the above users metric of smell factor, if a bears is 5,000,000 then a pigs would be about 6,000,000.
I hope this helps.

u/Manicpixieautism 13h ago
Pigs smell 6 million. Bears smell 5 million. Dogs smell???? Humans smell three hundred. What is there to be confused about?

I used to have a completely deaf dog, and that was the best part. Whenever I came back from anywhere, she wouldn't be waiting at the door, she'd be fast asleep on the couch. So if I was quick enough (she'd eventually figure out I'd arrived if I took too long), I got to wake her up with cuddles, it was amazing 🥹😍

Ain't no way i'm sneaking up and waking my dogs to surprise them.

u/Guardianwolfart 1d ago
Interesting I have big dogs my whole life including a German Shepherd now. I fully trust waking her up like that.

u/inconspicuos_volcano 1d ago
I had a roommate who had a malamute mix and he would wake me up by putting his snoot on my nose 🥰

u/Historical-Buy8953 1d ago
I'm talking about me actually being able to sneak up on my dog..
3
u/Guardianwolfart 23h ago
I understand it just depends on your dog and how they have been trained. I do all kinds of goofy sht with my dogs since they are little. They are definitely used to me getting in their face when asleep or messing with them. Mine usually falls asleep on my arm and I sometimes "bite" her ear to wake her up 😆.
2
u/Historical-Buy8953 23h ago
Well that absolutely sounds like the right way to be. I usually degrade mine by saying they need to get a hobby of some sort.
4
u/CaughtALiteSneez 1d ago
If they are in the middle of a dream, it’s good to be smart. (Twitching etc.)
8
u/AusGeno 1d ago
Yeah I trust my dog not to bite my face in every single situation except this one.
2
u/SharpRoll5848 21h ago
I taught my kids never to try and surprise an animal unless you intend to kill and eat it, it's not fun for them only dangerous.
0
u/Thricey 21h ago
Yeah everyone here giving anecdotes about their dogs, there's a reason the phrase "let sleeping dogs lie" is a thing. It's statistically dangerous to wake a dog up with your face in their face. Even if your dog would never, they might not mean to hurt you. My daschund never hurt a thing in his life and I always woke him up with kisses. One day I did and he bit and scarred my face randomly.

u/real_p3king 1d ago
I'm so lucky, I get this daily from mine. Sometimes I can just look over at her and her tail starts wagging.
Gonna go pet her now...

u/Boenitous 1d ago
My mini dachshunds do that for me everyday! It's truly humbling how someone can love you so much! Yes I consider my pups as people.

u/Hexent_Armana 1d ago
This is exactly what I needed after watching YouTube's Shoeonhead's most recent video. Faith in humanity isn't any higher but this sweet angel has at least healed my heart a little. 🥰

I used to do this with my dog. He lives with my ex now. I miss my pupper so much. Thanks for sharing this.

u/dave8814 1d ago
I adopted a puppy two weeks ago. On his fourth day home from the shelter he was sleeping next to me on the couch. He woke up looked around, saw me, wagged his tail, then readjusted himself, let out a huge sigh, and went right back to sleep.

u/FeralFaefolk 23h ago
She looks and acts just like the cuddly dog I had in my teen years. She even loved wearing sweaters too!

u/Emotional_News108 17h ago
My dog loves this move but she’s 70 pounds and very strong, so it’s kind of like getting hit by a small bulldozer. She means well.

I had a rescue min pin who would greet me at the door, docked tail stump wagging, and a no kidding smile on her face. Just me, not my wife. Sweetest dog. Mis her…

When you can't get a hug because your human is laying down so you just wedge yourself under them.

"how did she ever do this, it was such a sweet dog, we raised her so well" - every pittbull owner at some point in time
0
u/Guilty_Lab_9508 23h ago
Did a pitbull take your girlfriend or something?
2
u/Necessary-Bed-5429 23h ago
From the last few years of dog attacks, from the hundreds of children that died, over 90% had a pit bull, and the others were pit mixes. Tell them "boo hoo did a pitbull take your children". Class act.

u/Guilty_Lab_9508 21h ago
“The Chevrolet Silverado and the Ford F-150 are the vehicles most commonly involved in car accidents in the United States.”
You better have that same energy when you see these trucks driving down the street.
-1
u/Necessary-Bed-5429 15h ago
Uh, yes? Aren't you more careful when a bigger vehicle is around you? They have a bigger chance to kill because of their weight, so yes they're going to be involved in deadly accidents more than tiny Japanese city cars.

u/Silly-Rough-5810 1d ago
Do you really believe that or are you just trying to steal joy?

u/Necessary-Bed-5429 1d ago
pitbulls are the one that steal joy at a murderous rate

u/Guilty_Lab_9508 21h ago
What’s a murderous rate? 10%? 90%
1
u/Necessary-Bed-5429 15h ago
i don't know but almost every dog related death is pitbull or pit-mix
1
u/Guilty_Lab_9508 15h ago
“Pit bulls and related mixes are involved in roughly 65% to 66% of all fatal dog attacks in the United States, according to multi-year tracking data.”
2
u/Necessary-Bed-5429 15h ago
yeah, that's crazy high for one breed. That's not even adding the injuries and unidentified mixes (most likely pit again)
1
u/Guilty_Lab_9508 15h ago
Is it high? Yes. Is it nearly all? No. And yes it is add in mixed. As it says in the quote.

u/Necessary-Bed-5429 12h ago edited 12h ago
Sorry let's add Rottweilers for 99%
"Although Pitbulls and Rottweilers make up only 6% of dogs in the US, they’re responsible for most fatal attacks."
Conclusion: if it's a deadly dog attack i'd put my money on it being a pitbull. Small chance Rottweiler. But let's keep these cute creatures around.

u/Guilty_Lab_9508 11h ago
If I see a stupid comment on Reddit, there’s a 99% chance you posted it.

This is such a dumb comparison. They are violent dogs and tend to be reactive. End of story.

Pitbull. I know Reddit loves to hate on them and post statistics but they can be very loving and cuddly in the right home/upbringing.
0
u/mantis_tobaggan-md 1d ago
Reddit sucks in a few major areas, and pitbull misinformation is at the top of the list. Pitties can be the sweetest, most loyal, most loving best friend you could ever be lucky enough to meet. Case in point, this freaking adorable video.

u/Early_Storm_7708 1d ago
Some people are smart enough to not want to take the chance. When these things decide they want to attack, you’re either disfigured for life or dead. 😬
0
u/MissLogios 1d ago
Yeah and you can say the same for plenty other of highly territorial breeds (Akitas, Chow Chow, Sharppeis) or aggressive breeds (Small dogs).
Yet you don't see Reddit advocating for them to be put down on sight like they do for pitties, do ya?
1
u/Eastern-Editor4749 1d ago
Nobody is advocating for those dogs like people do with pitbulls. Nor are they as commonly owned. And small dogs are agressive? Sure. Yet not a threat.
0
u/mantis_tobaggan-md 19h ago
You should step off the internet once in a while. It’s a totally different world.

u/Eastern-Editor4749 13h ago
Pitbull nutters are real. See it all the time. You should experience the real world and actually interact with these dogs and their owners.

u/anonidfk 17h ago
Difference is, those dogs do a lot less damage when they do attack, and also have many less attacks.
A chihuahua for example is aggressive, it can also be literally drop kicked away extremely easily lol. Even an Akita or Chow Chow can’t do as much damage as quickly as a pitbull, and they have wayyyy less attacks.

u/Dozier13ish 17h ago
Keep standing on your soapbox. You’re not getting anything done

u/anonidfk 17h ago
There have been 3 serious pitbull attacks in literally just last week alone.
There have already been 35 deaths caused by pitbulls this year. Some of which were children. Literally no other dogs attack and kill at that rate.
No one deserves to be mauled or die because you think a breed is cute.
1
u/Dozier13ish 17h ago
I hear this same argument every week on here y’all are just crying about statistics with no personal knowledge
0
u/anonidfk 17h ago
Ignoring actual documented deaths just because you personally have not experienced it and think you know better, is pretty damn ridiculous.
People like you are exactly why others keep getting killed and maimed.
