Millie is usually the first one in line for a snack, but this specific throwback video proves that even the most food-motivated Labrador pup has an “off” switch. Back when she was just a tiny thing in Ottawa, her mom over at @the_lab_millie caught her absolutely zonked out on a soft blanket during a car ride.
Most dogs would teleport to the kitchen if they heard a wrapper crinkle from three rooms away. But Millie? She was so deep in dreamland that her nose basically became a charcuterie board. Watch the ultimate struggle between the need for a nap and the love of treats.
Labrador pup is too sleepy to react to treats kept on her nose bridge
The experiment is honestly hilarious because of how Millie is resting her face. Her snout is basically a flat tray. Her mom just starts stacking bits of treats right on her nose bridge while she’s out cold. One big piece right on the nose first. Then a whole line of them going all the way up to between her eyes. And Millie doesn’t even flinch.
“That’s the most un-Labrador thing I’ve ever seen,” one person commented, and they aren’t wrong. This breed usually acts like they haven’t eaten since the dawn of time, but on this day, the “nose was out of office.”
At one point in the video, she actually opens her eyes for a split second. She sees the food. She definitely smells it. But then she just… closes her eyes again. It is like her brain calculated the effort required to lift a single muscle and decided that the calories weren’t worth the loss of a prime car nap.
“I don’t think Millie’s nose was working right that day,” her owner joked in the caption. Another fan even joked that this must be a body double because a real Labrador pup would never let snacks just sit there. Usually, her feed is full of her inhaling apples, so seeing her this “too comfy to care” is a total rarity.
It looks like elite-level training, but it’s really just pure exhaustion from being a baby. One viewer joked about “saving” the “chubby lab,” while others were just impressed by her commitment to the snooze. It’s the ultimate test of sleep versus food, and for once, the nap won.
