Most people rely on alarms, reminders, or strict schedules to start their day. But if you’re a pet parent, your routine is often shaped by your dog or cat, who seems to have an internal clock of their own.
Whether it’s for food, attention, or simply habit, pets rarely miss their cue. That natural sense of timing is clearly on display in a recent video by user @wasabithechow, where a Chow Chow puppy takes it upon himself to wake his owner in the most persistent way.
Chow Chow puppy turns into alarm to wake owner up
The video begins with Wasabi the Chow Chow trotting into the room where his owner is still in bed. Without hesitation, the puppy approaches and starts investigating the situation. He leans in to sniff his owner’s face, letting out soft chuffing sounds as if trying to nudge them awake gently.
When that doesn’t seem to work fast enough, Wasabi takes things a step further. He lifts his paw and places it on his owner, tapping insistently as though giving a clear signal that it’s time to get up. His persistence is hard to ignore, and the interaction quickly turns into a playful moment.
The owner, clearly amused, responds with laughter while acknowledging the pup’s efforts. On-screen text sums it up humorously: “No need for an alarm because I have a Chow Chow puppy.”
While the behavior may seem like a caring wake-up call, the puppy’s motivation appears more practical than sentimental. His timing and persistence suggest he may be more interested in breakfast than anything else. Still, his method makes for an endearing start to the day.
Viewers in the comments found the clip both relatable and entertaining. One person pointed out Wasabi’s dramatic huffing and puffing. Another joked that their own dog operates on a very different schedule, waking up much later in the day.
Some commenters shared similar experiences, noting that their Chow Chows are surprisingly punctual and often wake them up before sunrise. One user even described the breed as “expert time keepers.” Others simply appreciated the moment for what it was, calling Wasabi the “cutest alarm” they had ever seen.
