Great Danes are often celebrated as the “Apollo of Dogs,” and it’s easy to see why. These impressive dogs can stand as tall as 34 inches and weigh anywhere from 120 to 200 pounds!
In Niagara Falls, Ontario, a family decided to name their 10-month-old Great Dane “Moose” to highlight the breed’s remarkable size. Even though Moose is still a young puppy, he has big ambitions—literally.
Before his playful energy starts to wane, Moose took advantage of his family’s trampoline.
But here’s the unexpected part: he wasn’t jumping around like you might imagine. Instead of using the trampoline for some lively fun, Moose chose it as his favorite napping spot.
And it wasn’t just a brief rest; Moose was deeply asleep, lying on his back with his paw covering his face. His mom wasn’t too pleased with his choice of where to nap.
She opened the porch door and called out, “Moose,” even adding a kissy sound to get his attention.
However, Moose was fast asleep and didn’t respond. His mom was astonished. “Oh my God,” she exclaimed, surprised that her calls didn’t wake her sleeping puppy.
Moose was so engrossed in his sleep that he seemed to be in another world. Eventually, desperate to wake him, his mom started whistling. And just like that!
The sharp whistle cut through Moose’s dreams and woke him up. But he wasn’t happy about being disturbed.
Moose woke up but wasn’t ready to leave his cozy spot. He rolled over and gave his mom a look that seemed to say, “Why are you waking me up?”
His funny, tangled position made the moment even more amusing.
The video of Moose’s trampoline nap quickly went viral online. “Why is he positioned like a fallen gargoyle?” one viewer wondered.
“What are you doing?” his mom asked, still puzzled by his unusual sleeping posture.
The video has been viewed over 34 million times, bringing laughter to millions. People couldn’t get enough of Moose’s adorable behavior.
“Clearly, Moose was sleeping and was in the zone. There was no need to interrupt his slumber,” one YouTube user commented. Another added, “Moose had the, ‘I know you ain’t just wake me up to ask me no dumb question’ face.”
Moose is undeniably cute, and it’s great that he got to enjoy a good nap on the trampoline. Hopefully, he also managed to get some exercise in the process.
Puppy mills are mass breeding operations that run solely to make a profit. Support a nationwide ban on selling puppy mill animals at pet stores.
As one commenter put it:
“He’s been jumping on it all day and wore himself out! I know I’d need a nap afterwards.”
If you need a good laugh today, Moose’s trampoline nap is the perfect mood booster! It’s wonderful that his owner shared this sweet moment with everyone.
Moose is truly a character, and we’re sure he’ll continue to bring joy and laughter as he grows up in his loving home.
