In a viral TikTok video, a woman from New York reveals her favorite thing about her morning gym walks, and internet users can't cope with it.
The heartwarming video, shared on Tuesday under the username @erikaedaly, shows a pit bull sleeping on his blanket right by the window, living his best life surrounded by his teddies, and a fairy curtain. "The highlight of my gym walk every morning. Wish I knew his/her name," she writes in the clip. A caption says: "The sparkly curtain and stuffies."
If you often find your pup lying on the couch taking a nap, don't worry; that's because dogs sleep much more than we do, and while they might sleep through the night, they still need some daytime naps to recharge their batteries.
On average, adult dogs typically need 12 to 14 hours of sleep per day, although this can vary depending on the individual pup. While some pups are naturally more active, and require less sleep, others may enjoy longer naps.
A canine's age also plays a role in the amount of sleeping hours they need in a day. For example, puppies, while being incredibly energetic, also need plenty of rest to support their growth. They may sleep as much as 18 to 20 hours a day.
Older dogs also need more sleep than their younger counterparts because they need time to rest and recover. Senior pups may sleep for up to 16 hours a day.
It is important to provide your senior dog with a comfortable and quiet space to rest, but it is also just as vital to make sure they take regular exercise to help keep them healthy and active.

Umi Grace added: "I love how the toys are safely tucked nearby. I wonder how many times her/his human gotta retrieve toys below that window."
