Dogs are certainly entertaining if they’re nothing else. You never know what sort of nonsense they’re going to get into while you’re away or even down the hall. Dogs have dug holes in couches to play in the foam, spread trash all over the floor because they smelled an empty peanut butter container. Some dogs have even found their way to their owner’s roofs for no apparent reason outside of getting closer to the birds.
One dog and his dog sibling were snoozing away while their owners were out. The couch one of the dogs was sleeping on had a fitted sheet or couch cover draped over it…until the dog got startled almost rolling off the couch. While the brown pooch was attempting to correct himself so he didn’t land on his back, the couch cover decided to turn the poor dog into a burrito.
He successfully got turned around in time to gently hop onto the floor but everything went black.
The dog was completed wrapped up in the blanket totally not freaking out at all. Okay, maybe he was freaking out a little bit but his brother was actually planning to rescue him…until it wigged him out too and he was left to figure it out on his own. But it didn’t take long at all for him to realize that maybe being a couch cover ghost wasn’t so bad after all. Thankfully after his quick stint as a Halloween decoration, humans walked through the door to free him. The video was shared by LADbible Australia and commenters got a good belly laugh.
“Well I haven’t laughed so hard in a long time,” one person writes.
“Bless the dog who decides to sit and patiently wait for the blanket to be removed,” a commenter says.
“The fact the dog sat and accepted its fate,” another person laughs.
Other commenters pointed out the more serious side of this common situation dogs can find themselves in. One person writes, “Well hopefully now you know that’s a danger to the pups when you leave them alone at home and don’t do it anymore.”
Another says, “Poor baby! While it’s hysterical and the baby is safe, it’s still scary to know what could have happened had their humans not arrived home so soon!”
Dogs often behave like unsupervised toddlers. They’re still trying to figure out the world with their disadvantage of non-opposable thumbs halfway up their wrists. That means that they sometimes get into hilarious but sticky situations that require human intervention. So while this video will certainly tickle funny bones, it’s also a great reminder to secure your couch covers or securely crate your pup while unsupervised.
