Recently, a hilarious and delightful moment was shared on TikTok by a shelter volunteer, Emily, who goes by the handle @emyzee. The video captured the adorable, yet slightly concerning, sight of Molly, an older dog, sprawled out in the grass.
In the video, Emily jokes about Molly sleeping “like she just crossed the rainbow bridge.” The dog was in such a deep slumber that she showed no signs of movement. However, her tranquility was interrupted when the volunteer gently touched Molly’s head, prompting a rather disgruntled awakening. The clip, posted on October 7, quickly became an internet sensation, amassing over 2 million views and 320,000 likes in no time.

It’s common knowledge that senior dogs tend to sleep more than their younger, more energetic counterparts. Resting becomes an essential part of their routine. Some older dogs may snooze for anywhere from 14 to 20 hours a day.
Allowing older dogs to rest and sleep is crucial for their well-being, and if they choose to spend their days in slumber, it’s perfectly fine. However, it’s also important to keep an eye on their sleep patterns and routines. Any abrupt changes or excessive sleeping might signal an underlying issue, and it’s advisable to consult a veterinarian.
In Molly’s case, it seems that her antics were a recurring source of amusement for the volunteers. Emily humorously noted that Molly was “the queen of this game,” suggesting that this wasn’t the first time she had given them a scare or a laugh.
Tragically, Molly has since passed away, but her memory lives on in the hearts of those who watched her funny naptime episode.
