A sweet French bulldog has captured the internet’s attention with a simple but irresistible bedtime request: he refuses to nap unless his human holds his paw. The cozy video shows just how wholesome a little physical reassurance can be.
Dog keeps giving his hand to owner as he tries to nap
Take a look at this French bulldog who won’t fall asleep without holding hands:
The clip opens with the Frenchie already settled in for rest, curled up and visibly sleepy. But instead of fully relaxing, he stretches out one paw toward his owner, gently placing it in their hand. When the paw parent lets go, the dog immediately reaches out again, calmly offering his paw back, which clearly signals that nap time cannot officially begin without contact. The text overlay spells it out: “My Frenchie insists that I hold his hand while he naps.”
The caption accompanying the video sums up the bond perfectly: “He’s the biggest love in the world. He always wants me to hold his hand, so I do because he’s the best.” Unsurprisingly, the comments section overflowed with emotion. Many viewers jokingly scolded the owner for even attempting to move their hand. “Stop taking your hand away from him!! It’s upsetting both of us!!!” one user wrote. “Hold that baby’s hand!!! Stop interrupting his nap,” another demanded.
One viewer commented: “The way he IMMEDIATELY starts closing his eyes as soon as you grab his hand.”
