One person wrote, "omg could rub that belly for hours!"
The video was shared by @frenchieworld44, whose TikTok feed shows oodles of French bulldogs looking like petite potatoes. Watching videos of these Frenchie puppies is a guaranteed way to brighten anyone's day.
Why do French bulldogs sleep so much?
The French bulldog is America's most popular dog, but it's also one of the dog breeds most prone to health issues, such as breathing problems, due to their shortened heads, flat faces, and narrow nostrils. These baby-faced dogs need a lot of sleep, usually 12 to 14 hours per day for an adult, up to 16 hours for a senior, and 18 to 20 hours daily for a puppy.
Frenchies are naturally low-energy, never having been bred for herding or sport, and they tire easily, mainly because of their breathing difficulties. Unable to regulate their body temperature well, they're prone to overheating and heat exhaustion, so they respond by napping even more often whenever the temperature rises.
The lifespan of the French bulldog is usually 10 to 12 years, despite their tendency to have health problems, which means the adorable little potato in the TikTok video still has many, many years of satisfying naps to look forward to in the future.
