There are days when your biggest desire is just to catch some Z’s in the warm sun.
That’s the life of a Great Pyrenees dog, known for their hard work guarding at night and hauling equipment.
These nocturnal canines cherish their daytime slumbers.
But for one such dog, his dreams of peaceful rest were playfully interrupted.
Living on a farm, he found himself surrounded by energetic baby goats, his unlikely housemates, who had a different plan for the day.
Naturally, they just wanted to play!
Unperturbed by their sleeping guardian, the baby goats saw an opportunity for fun.
They began their game, leaping over his legs, scampering around him, and even using his body as a makeshift playground.
Their curiosity even led them to check if he was still breathing amidst their antics.
The more the merrier.
It wasn’t just one or two goats; a whole herd of at least five decided to join in.
Despite his exhaustion, the dog seemed to embrace this interruption, showing love and patience, embodying the protective nature of his breed.
At one point, the playful bleating seemed to disturb his slumber.
Raising his head, he turned to face the baby goats, leading to an adorable and surprised reaction from the little ones.
Can’t a dog just get some sleep?
It wasn’t over yet.
Their surprise was short-lived, however, as they quickly resumed their playful endeavors, with the dog returning to his restful state.
He played the role of a protective parent, understanding the goats’ desire to play and allowing them the freedom to do so.
The footage is so funny and cute that it has over 7 million views.
One viewer insightfully noted,
“The dog wants to be there! He knows it’s the baby goats play section. He could move to a quieter place on the field, but wants to be there for the little ones.”
Another person commented:
“The best cure for depression right here. Adorable jumping baby goats and the best dog in the world. If this doesn’t make you smile just a little, we can’t be friends 😂😂🐐🐐🐶🐶”
This heartwarming interaction isn’t a one-time event.
It’s part of their daily routine – the dog diligently guards the farm at night, allowing the goats and other animals to rest, and then takes his turn to sleep during the day, amidst the playful chaos of his charges.
Someone else said:
“I have baby goats and I can tell you, having them jump on your back feel like a great massage. No wonder this smart dog isn’t moving lol.”
