After constantly being denied access to his owner’s bed, one dog finally received the green light for a one-time chance, and his reaction did not disappoint.
Pet parents are often split on whether or not to let their pets sleep with them. The Sleep Foundation found that 56 percent of adults sleep with a pet in the bedroom, with respondents saying it provides them comfort, strengthens their emotional health and potentially heightens their immunity. However, those who do not allow pets to sleep in the bedroom cite germ exposure and sleep disruption as reasons against it.
TikTok user @nipseyhuskinton is one owner who never lets her dog, Nipsey, sleep in the bed with her, despite the corgsky (a cross between a corgi and a husky) constantly begging to be let up.
Recently, Nipsey’s luck changed.
After giving him a bath, Nipsey’s owner caved while listening to his cries. She allowed him to get up on the bed. Thrilled, Nipsey instantly cozied up. But his excitement didn’t last long because he was “knocked out” as soon as his head hit the pillow.
Nipsey slept with his mouth open, as if he hadn’t felt such comfort before—though his owner reassured people on TikTok that he has his own doggy bed. In a follow-up video, she said he’s allowed on the couch and loves getting cozy with blankets and pillows, so don’t let his cries fool you.
Despite the owner never allowing Nipsey to sleep in the bed with her, she learned it worked better than expected.
“He’s so cuddly,” she told Newsweek. “We both slept great that day.”
And now, since she caved, she realized there is no going back. She said she opened Pandora’s box.
Viewer Reactions
Within two days of posting, the TikTok clip reached 949,000 views, 233,800 likes and 2,954 comments from viewers demanding that the poster let Nipsey up on the bed more often.
“Washing my sheets constantly is worth it,” assured one positive pet owner.
“You are his entire life! Let him sleep on the bed,” another commenter urged.
“My dog sometimes allows me on my bed,” one TikTok user joked.
And even Snooki from Jersey Shore commented, “Bring him in the damn bed,” to which Nipsey’s owner replied, “Omggg” with a crying emoji.
