Sharing your bed with a pet can often compromise sleep, space, and personal boundaries. For breeds that thrive on human closeness, even a spot at the foot of the bed can feel worlds away. One clever dog recently went viral for finding a creative way to stay near her mom while following the rules.
Instagram video shows what Vizsla does to sleep closer to mom on the bed
The Instagram clip begins with an on-screen caption, “when mom says you can sleep at the foot of the bed but it’s so far.” In it, a Vizsla puppy is seen lying at the foot of the bed, but she refuses to completely detach herself emotionally from her mom. The pup twists her head 180 degrees, constantly glancing back to stay connected. It seemed as if she was trying to bridge the distance between them. Her mom humorously captions the video with her thoughts, “Don’t forget about me all the way over here.”
The video features an audio overlay of a little girl softly saying, “I love you, I love you, I trust you…”. The combination of the pup’s loyal gaze and the tender audio accurately depicts why Vizslas are often called “Velcro dogs.” These pups form close, intense bonds with their humans and want to be near them at all times.
Known for their high energy, intelligence, and affectionate nature, Vizslas thrive on mental stimulation. They are sensitive dogs and respond strongly to human emotions. This makes them excellent family pets and loyal walking or running partners. For a Vizsla, being near the people they love is comforting, reassuring, and often necessary to feel secure. This is exactly what makes the sight of this video so heartwarming to Instagram users.
One comment perfectly captured her gaze, “That look says, ‘notice me, please!’”. Another imagined the dog’s inner plea, writing, “Come on, come and give me a snuggle.” One fan even joked about the struggle of being apart, saying, “I can’t breathe being this far away from you!”
