Internet Falls in Love With Senior Husky Refusing to Get Out of Bed at 7:30

A senior Husky called Brenin has melted hearts on the internet after his owner shared a video where he ignored her partner picking him up at 7:30 a.m. to go to work.

In a post shared on TikTok on Thursday, under the username sorchaelspethtattoo, Brenin can be seen slowly waking up in the morning, taking his time as his owner's partner waits for him to be fully awake to take him for the day.

A caption explains: "My favorite thing is watching my 13-year-old Husky slowly waking up and ignoring my boyfriend who has to take him to work at 7:30 am... We don't want to leave each other but he's too hairy and stinky for a tattoo studio."

His owner, Sorcha, told Newsweek that he will usually sleep until 10 a.m. or until she wakes up.

"We live on a houseboat in London," she said. "We are currently in Hartford next to lots of countryside. Twice a week, he has to wake up at 7:30 and go to work at a boatyard with my partner where he sleeps all day outside watching the world go by."

Moreover, she explained that the senior dog used to be a sled dog in Finland and she got him when she was just 18.

"Obviously now [he is a] retired companion dog. He's so important to me," she added.

Dogs are usually considered senior once they reach the last 25 percent of their estimated lifespan, which varies depending on the dog's size and breed, according to experts cited by the American Veterinary Medical Association.

They are considered seniors at these age ranges (on average): 8 to 11 years for small breeds; 8 to 10 years for medium-sized breeds; 8 to 9 for large breeds and 6 to 7 years for giant breeds.

The video went viral on social media, getting viewers from across TikTok. It has so far received over 297,800 views and 32,800 likes on the platform.

One user, Clare Webb, commented: "Elderly dogs can need up to 20hrs of rest a day, i hope dads work has a nice bed he can sleep in! too cute."

Matthewweisbrod2 said: "That's a damn fine pup you've got there, miss. Give him some pets from us, please."

And Imu added: "Not to be dramatic or anything but I'd die for him. His face is soo so adorable and that yawn."
