The scene of a sleepy puppy holding on to his sleep while drinking milk was shared on Kane Berries’ TikTok profile earlier this month, and touched the hearts of more than 14 million netizens for such tenderness. The young woman lives in the Philippines and often posts videos of little Milky, a pomapoo breed. In the most varied antics, one particular episode showed how dogs resemble humans when it comes to resting.
Just like us, dogs (and other animals too) need sleep to wake up rested and carry on with their activities, but dogs feel a little sleepier than humans. According to Newsweek , researchers at North Carolina State University found that most dogs have two “activity peaks” throughout the day. According to the study, these peaks occur between 8 am and 10 am, followed by a break at noon and then from 5 pm to 11 pm.
Although the 42 healthy dogs monitored as part of the research proved to be more active, the truth is that furry dogs need a good rest. And Milky, who was not part of the research, showed just how much sleep he needs by clinging to sleep while teetering with his head in his milk bowl. It was not specified in the publication whether the milk is pet-friendly. In addition to the millions of views, the post received millions of reactions and thousands of comments.
Below is the tender video:
