In a viral TikTok video a woman thinks she's lost her friend's dog, but where she finds him immediately after has left internet users in hysterics.
The hilarious clip, shared on Sunday under the username @_thingsbyhannah_, shows the poster's friend looking everywhere around the house to find the little dachshund, but he's nowhere in sight.
"My roommate sent me this video of her losing my wiener dog," reads the caption shared with the clip.
The poster's friend can be heard saying: "It's 2 am and I just got back. I'm looking everywhere for George", as she walks into the bedroom to find the small pup lying belly up on her pillows, chilling out like nothing happened after she searched the entire house for him.
"I'm like, has he been outside this whole time?" she continues.
While some dogs, especially smaller ones, aren't very active, and love spending time in bed chilling, others need lots of physical activity every day to thrive.
According to Vet Help Direct, the dog breeds that need the most exercise include Hungarian Vizslas, Doberman pinchers, Weimaraners, working cocker spaniels, Rhodesian ridgebacks, Labrador retrievers, and border collies, among others.
Small Door Veterinary says that while less active breeds only need about 30 to 60 minutes of exercise each day, more active ones need at least 60 to 90 minutes to get all their energy out and avoid nighttime zoomies.
As for Dachshunds, both miniature and medium-sized require minimal exercise. That's because they have short legs and long bodies, which makes excessive running and jumping hard for them. Instead, they are great couch companions.

The video quickly went viral on social media and it has so far received over 16.8 million views and 4.6 million likes.
One user, Sav, commented: "I have a wiener dog and this is definitely a regular occurrence. One time I posted in our local missing pets page and turns out she was under my blanket ignoring me crying screaming her name the whole time."
Mackencheez said: "I'm always saying dachshunds are absolutely the cuddliest breed, and they always love being under blankets and will even get under one by themselves. I've never seen any other breeds do that, a least not nearly as much (so if any of you want to get a dachshund, be careful not to sit or walk on any blanket piles)."
User2571959333191 added: "My wiener dog figured out how to unzip my sofa cushions and burrow into the stuffing. I have to warn people about it when I have company."
