Some naps are so deep that waking up feels like returning from another dimension, and one dog’s hilarious reaction proves humans aren’t the only ones who experience that half-asleep confusion. A new viral video shows a Golden Mountain pup stumbling out of a nap only to look at his owners as if they’re strangers.
The hilarious moment was captured in a now-popular video where the on-screen text reads: “My dog just woke up from a nap and didn’t recognize us when we came home.”
Dog can’t seem to recognize owners after waking up from nap in funny video
The clip begins with the dog poking his head out from a bedroom door after what was clearly a long sleep. He blinks slowly at the sight of the two people standing in the hallway, tilting his head with a confused squint like he’s seeing visitors in his home for the very first time. The dog takes one hesitant step forward, then stops again, still unsure.
Meanwhile, his expression seems to say, “Who are you? Why are you in my house? How do you know my name?” He turns his head away, as if trying to process a hundred thoughts at once. The video’s caption reads, “Ever nap so hard you forget who your dad is?”
Viewers couldn’t get enough of the dog’s confused retreat. One user commented, “We’ve all woken up from those deep naps, right?” Another added, “When I come home from work, I cover my whole head with my hood… She stands at the top of the stairs until I put my hood down, and then she gets excited.” Someone else wrote, “Dogs like this crack me up. When have they EVER seen someone walk inside who wasn’t supposed to be there?” Another viewer summed it up perfectly: “He said, ‘Visitors?? I’m going back to my room.”
