Living with multiple dogs is like being in a group chat that never sleeps. Just when one goes quiet, another finds a reason to ping the whole house. And sometimes, one loud bark is all it takes to set off the rest. An Instagram video shows how one Corgi shot up from REM sleep and let out a scream so sudden, it turned her Golden Retriever siblings into a confused and chaotic support team.
Corgi ‘starts chaos out of nothing’ with scream at night in viral video
Ruby the Corgi recently shocked everyone when her owner discovered a pet cam video of Ruby waking up from sleep. In the Instagram video, Ruby and her two Golden Retriever siblings, Hugo and Maui, were all peacefully napping in a corner of the living room. Their owner, who was across on the couch, was sitting quietly when Ruby suddenly jumped up and barked loudly out of nowhere.
The sound startled everyone in the room, including her canine siblings. Hugo barked instantly, while Maui sat up, looking confused but not overly reactive. All three dogs woke up from what looked like a peaceful group nap. Their rattled response made the entire situation even funnier. Meanwhile, the onscreen text read, “Corgis really start chaos out of nothing,” and it’s hilarious and perfect.
Viewers couldn’t get enough of the unexpected drama, and they had plenty to say. “The way she jumped, she was either dreaming or legit sensed something,” one person commented. Another added, “Our girl will wake from a dead sleep and howl like an air raid warning.” Many noticed the reaction, or non-reaction, of Maui, commenting that she looked like she had been in this situation many times before.
Ruby’s sudden outburst may seem random, though it is classic dog behavior. Dogs can be light sleepers. They’re known to react to things we can’t hear, like a distant car door or a subtle creak. It’s also possible she was dreaming and startled herself awake. Either way, it doesn’t take much to turn a quiet night into a moment of chaos when pets are involved.
