Deaf rescue pup refuses to sleep without snuggling her humans and it is so heartwarming
In a heartwarming dog video on Instagram, a rescue Cocker Spaniel pup cannot sleep without snuggling. The uploader explains the context through on-screen text. It reads, “We rescued our deaf/blind pup at just 4 weeks old & quickly learned she felt the safest to snooze while snuggling.”
The clip begins with the adult dog sleeping in a moving car, with her head resting on the owner’s hand. Then she is seen napping with her dad, comfortably sleeping on his shoulder. Furthermore, the habit continues no matter where they are. Whether the owner is driving or her mom is relaxing, Nellie can be seen in her dreamland while snuggling with them.
Towards the end of the deaf rescue pup’s video, the owner shows that Nellie developed this sleeping habit since she was a puppy. Some old clips featured the tiny pup sleeping on her owner’s chest or arm.
Viewers loved the adorable video of Nellie. A user commented, “Sweet, precious girl, so thankful she’s safe and loved.” Another wrote, “It does seem logical that you’d only relax enough to sleep when you feel safe and without being able to hear or see danger coming, she relies on you to keep her safe while she is sleeping. You’re all gems.”
The video has received over 1.4K likes as of writing.
