Love funny dog videos? This pup jumped in the dryer to get at that nice, warm sleeping spot

Some dogs just can't get enough of the laundry. Here's why.

By

We all know the perfect feeling of putting on clothes straight out of the dryer especially on a cold winter day. This little pup decided that wasn’t good enough and took matters into his own paws. Instead of waiting for his blanket to be laid out for him, he climbed right into the dryer itself — maximum warmth!

This funny dog video posted by mandypierce32 opens with a pooch walking around and looking for his friend. The text tells us “When you forget to lay a blanket out for the old man so he finds his own” and then proves its point. We watch as the camera shows a long tail sticking out of the dryer and then quite a large canine who has somehow managed to stuff himself into it. When his owner finally finds him, he readjusts his position and gets fully comfy in his new sleeping spot.

Commenters praised the big guy with Beffers6 saying, “Ahhh! I love the wisdom in old dogs. That old fella is a PROBLEM SOLVER!” He certainly knows what he wants and takes it.

kristigraggstilwell tried to get into his head: “He’s just, ‘COULD SOMEBODY GET THE LIGHT?’ LOL!!!”

Krystal made an excellent point when she posted “I thought it was gonna be a cat at first. Was not expecting an entire dog.” A feline would certainly fit in there a bit better.

Finally, Ray summed it up perfectly, “That’s gotta be so cozy and warm I don’t blame him.” Who wouldn’t want to climb into the warm dryer for a snooze?

Why do pets like the dryer?

You might notice that your animal likes clothes both before they go into the wash and after. If your dog snuggles into your hamper, it means he’s enjoying your smell, which you leave behind on all your clothes. However, when pets lay in the laundry pile after it comes out of the dryer, they’re doing it mostly for warmth. Unfortunately, the call of the dryer can lead to devastating consequences. Some cats have been known to climb in and go through a full cycle. Luckily, these fur babies do survive sometimes, but it’s essential that you check your machines every time if you know your little guy is prone to exploring your washer or dryer. Being trapped in there can lead to heat stroke. If you do find one of your precious animals in the laundry machines, take them to the vet immediately.

While in extreme circumstances, the dryer can be dangerous, that didn’t stop this big animal from climbing in and enjoying a quick nap on his favorite blanket. Too bad it wasn’t big enough for his friend to join in too!

You hoped your dog "dug" their bed when you spent hours researching the top brands with the comfiest products. Maybe your pooch took to their bed immediately — success. Alternatively, perhaps they decided your bed was a better fit, and you chose to roll with the choice. Regardless of which option you two settled on, you may notice your pet has an interesting bedtime and naptime routine: digging into their beds.

The digging is usually accompanied by some walking around in circles, nosing at the bed or any blankets, and repeating until they finally settle down and enjoy some sweet slumber. Why do dogs dig on the bed, though?

Virtually every dog barks every now and again, but sometimes that barking can get to be too much. It's easier to address excessive barking when you can figure out what your dog is trying to tell you or alert you of, but dog owners know it's not always obvious. In fact, it can be a bit unnerving when your dog is barking at an empty wall.

You're certainly not alone if you find yourself asking, "Why is my dog barking at nothing?" This is a common question among dog owners, and it's something that veterinarians and animal behaviorists have studied as well. There's usually a reason behind dogs' barking, after all, so it's worth looking into to make sure your furry friend is alright.

3 effective tips to make puppy sleep training less of a nightmare
Help your puppy get to sleep with this guide

Bringing home a new puppy means you’re in for a whole lot of cute … and a lot less sleep. Before 4 months of age, a pup’s sleeping schedule consists of naps throughout the day and night — not the nighttime slumber you’re used to! This is a habit he'll grow out of, but with a few cozy arrangements, you can help your puppy sleep through the night with ease.
Puppy sleep training takes some preparation and time, but it can be done. The first few nights might be difficult if you have a stubborn pup who isn’t ready to hit the hay, but he'll get used to it in time. Here’s what you need to know.
According to the folks at Purina, a puppy is likely to sleep all the way through the night around 16 weeks of age. Although they will need a lot of sleep — around 17 to 20 hours a day — for the first several months of life, these naps will come in small chunks throughout the day. Just like human babies, young puppies alternate between periods of energy and rest, so it’s important to let them sleep when and where they need to.

Should you crate train your puppy?
Sleeping in a crate can benefit both you and your dog, especially when he's younger. A small puppy will have trouble controlling his bladder and might want to chew, which means containing him is essential to keeping him safe. You definitely don't want your animal to swallow something dangerous in the night or while he's home alone.
