If there’s one thing everyone can agree on it’s that we like to sleep in a comfortable bed. On nights when we’re away from our beds we always end up missing our own bed. A soft bed can create neck and back problems. A hard bed can do the same, leaving you stiff and hurting. There’s only one perfect bed out there and it’s yours. Well, this dog may just agree with you.
Why do we sleep better in our own bed?
This question has been asked by people across the world. Especially people awake at 2 a.m. in a hotel bed that just isn’t right. When you can’t sleep, nobody is happy. Everything is hazy the next day and you struggle to keep your eyes open, let alone work.
This is called the “first-night effect” and it is a genetic gift from our ancestors!
We developed this as a tactic to stay more alert as we traveled out for food and new lands. When you are on the savannah at night, it may just be valuable to sleep a bit lighter than you normally would! Deseret.com says:
“While the first-night effect can be useful if you and your family are spending a night on the savannah, it can make for a poor start to a long-awaited vacation by making you start the trip tired.”
This is a feature present in many animals, even dogs!
The ability to get a better night’s sleep is something that is common across the animal kingdom and one of the reasons this video is so funny!
Meet Henry the Great Dane.
Henry is a Great Dane who just got called “grumpy” by his owners! What could have possibly made Henry so grumpy? This video tells all.
His owners decided to prank him.
Pulling pranks on your dogs can be really funny sometimes. They often respond in such human ways! All of their time spent around humans has caused them to start exhibiting some truly hilarious behaviors.
Henry’s dad decided to lay in his bed.
While most dog beds are nowhere near large enough for this prank to even work, Henry isn’t most dogs. Great Danes can grow up to 200 lbs, larger than many humans! As a result, they have large bodies and large beds!
Henry inspected his bed and wasn’t happy by what he found!
Upon realizing that his dad had decided to lay in his bed, Henry was not happy. At first, you can see a bit of confusion as he thinks there must be some misunderstanding. He steps onto the bed, hoping maybe it’s all one big mistake and his dad will leave!
When dad doesn’t leave his confusion turns into a fit!
Looking around for help and realizing nobody is coming, Henry paws at his dad. He was probably trying to wake him up! When he realizes that he is being resisted, he gets vocal!
Even after letting out some HUFFS and PUFFS, Henry’s dad isn’t getting up!
Henry even tries to use his large head to push and shove this large nuisance out of his bed! Barking and growling at his dad, he wants him out pronto! Even after the dad pets the large pup to calm him down, the determined dog-horse won’t relent!
The moment Henry realizes his dad is joking he begins jumping around!
I guess that even this big dog just wants his bed back! There truly is no sleep like the sleep you get in your own bed.
I wonder if Henry is going to steal his dad’s bed next!
Finding Henry in your bed may be a bigger issue! Removing a 200 lb dog is quite the task. I am sure that they have some pretty awesome wrestling matches together!
Watch the hilarious interaction for yourself below. A lesson we can all learn from it is DO NOT mess with a dog’s bed. They won’t be happy with you!
