Some dogs treat hide-and-seek like a high-stakes mission. However, Pablo, the Bulldog, treats it like a nap session. A viral Instagram video perfectly captures dog’s priorities when his owner tries to turn their living room into a hide-and-seek game arena. Instead of searching the house in a flurry of excitement, Pablo calmly opts out and heads straight for the couch. The moment has left viewers laughing and nodding in understanding.
Dog chooses couch over a game of hide-and-seek with owner
The video opens inside a cozy living room as text appears on screen asking, “How long will Pablo search for me?” The owner hides behind a curtain, clearly expecting some level of dramatic pursuit.
Instead, Pablo stands still for a brief moment, scanning the room with mild curiosity. Rather than racing around, the Bulldog takes a slow, thoughtful pause, then makes a decisive move. He walks directly to the couch, hops up, and settles in as if to say the game is officially over.
Rather than stressing over his missing human, Pablo curls up on the couch and looks completely at ease, as though the furniture made him a better offer than hide-and-seek ever could. The pup calmly reassured everyone that naps come first.
Fans quickly flooded the comments with jokes and praise for the dog in the hide-and-seek video. One viewer wrote, “He’s thinking, ‘Oh good, he’s gone. Nap time.’” Another added, “Pablo is the clever one!! He knows the real priority.”
A third commented, “Pablo has got no time for your games, Ricky. The couch made Pablo an offer he couldn’t refuse.” One viewer summed it up perfectly, writing, “Bro was like, why did I come to this room again? Oh, right, nap time.”
