Everyone tells new parents to “sleep when the baby sleeps,” and it turns out that advice applies to the family pets, too. Oreo, the sassy dog behind @oreothedogbiscuit, has been feeling pretty drained lately since her new human sister arrived.
Life as a yellow Labrador in Australia is usually relaxed. Oreo proves she isn’t just looking for a spot on the mattress. She is waiting for a full-service nap experience that only her dad can provide.

The clip begins with Oreo standing at the bedroom door, looking a bit conflicted. Even though her mom is already in bed and inviting her up for a cuddle, Oreo stays perfectly still. It isn’t that she isn’t tired; she just has very high standards for her rest. Being a Labrador, she has a specific routine that requires everyone to be present. She won’t settle for a sub-par snooze.
As Mom keeps coaxing her, Dad finally walks into the room carrying Oreo’s favorite blanket. Her entire expression shifts the moment she sees him. She finally hops onto the bed and nestles in close to Mom. Dad doesn’t even need to be told what to do; he immediately starts draping the blanket over her. He carefully tucks in every single corner until she is completely bundled up like a burrito.
Once the last corner is secure, Oreo lets out one of those massive, dramatic dog sighs. It is that deep exhale of pure satisfaction that lets you know she is officially ready for the world to fade away. With over 75,000 likes on the video, people are obsessed with her demands.
It is pretty clear that even with a new baby around, Oreo is still the queen of the house. She might have to share the spotlight now, but she still has her parents wrapped around her paw. We should all be lucky enough to have someone tuck us in with that much love before a midday snooze.
