Boston Terrier’s Bedtime Stare captivates Online
A Boston terrier’s unwavering gaze as its owner awoke has charmed social media users, racking up thousands of upvotes on Reddit.
Many pet owners find comfort in sharing their beds with animal companions, a practice that can offer emotional support and even potential health benefits. However, experts caution that co-sleeping isn’t without risks, ranging from allergies to potential injury, particularly for children.
A recent viral video posted to Reddit by user u/DrLefty9 showcases a heartwarming, if slightly unsettling, morning encounter. Expecting to see his wife, the owner instead found his Boston terrier staring directly back at him from the pillow. The dog remained motionless, offering only a silent “sup?” as one commenter noted.
The video quickly garnered over 3,200 upvotes and numerous comments from fellow pet lovers. Users shared similar experiences, with one writing, “I wake up to my Boston staring at me with his head on the pillow too.” Another simply commented, “I’d say that’s a pretty good substitute.”
Newsweek reached out to u/DrLefty9 for comment but could not verify the details of the case.
