Few things are more adorable than a big dog lost in dreamland. Recently, Golden Retriever Carl proves it in a video as he wakes up from his nap with the kind of dazed expression every napper knows too well. You know the kind of nap that eats up an entire afternoon, so when you finally wake up, you’re squinting around like you’ve time-traveled. That’s exactly the vibe Carl gives off. In the clip, he emerges looking totally zonked out, proving that a good rest can transcend time and place. As it is, Carl’s post-nap daze is both hilarious and ridiculously cute.
Owner captures Golden Retriever’s look after 6 hour naptime in funny video
This video is an instant social media hit. It’s making people laugh all over the internet. Filmed from the staircase, the video opens with Carl, a Golden Retriever, stumbling into view from behind the railings, his eyes heavy and his expression blank. He’s so out of it you will half expect him to still be dreaming, just upright this time. His vibe screams, “Wait… what year is it again?” and viewers immediately latched onto that feeling.
As the camera keeps rolling, Carl stares off into the distance as if he woke up with a secret of the universe and then immediately forgot it. He could easily pass for a philosopher lost in thought, if not for the floppy ears and sleepy face. And just when it seems he may never fully rejoin reality, his owner casually drops the magic words: “I made sausage.” Instantly, Carl’s expression shifts. His eyes brighten, his tail swishes, and for a moment, you can almost hear him say, “Oh right, I’m back. Food awaits.”
The caption sums it up perfectly: “Carl aka Snoozan B Anthony.” With nearly 4K likes already, it’s clear this video hit the sweet spot between humor and heart. One person commented, “Looks like he woke up in a different dimension,” while another joked that the dog “just entered another universe and you guys don’t even wanna know what he saw.” Honestly, who hasn’t woken up from a nap so heavy you’re not even sure what day it is?
