Dachshund Turns On The Drama To Get Into Bed With His Human And We're In Stitches
It goes without saying that pets love sleeping with their owners. Whether their owners allow them to or not is a whole other story. We're here to share one dachshund's emotional TikTok tale of being denied entry into their human companion's bed, leaving it up to you to decide whether to laugh or sigh at the dog named Dougie's reaction that may earn him a place next to these dogs who are so dramatic they deserve an Oscar.

"The look at the end says it all 👀," the video states, adding, "POV your dachshund sulks when he's not in the bed." You then see a defeated-looking dachshund curled up in a doggy bed right outside the bedroom door, dramatically huffing with a quivering lip while sadly looking into the bedroom. We have no idea what the pup did to be left out in the proverbial cold, but the general consensus in the comments is to let him in — stat!
"🥺🥺🥺🥺 he's crying – let him in bed right now," demanded one comment that has garnered over 18,000 likes, as dozens of others dropped similar thoughts, including, "Oh my goodness apologize to that baby right now and give him an extra treat!" Eventually, the original poster admitted in the thread that the pup's tactic worked, and he indeed wound up in the big bed. With that, a collective sigh of relief was felt all around!
Reasons dogs like sleeping with their owners
For many people, there's nothing better than sinking into a warm, comfy bed at the end of the day — and dogs most definitely agree. If your four-legged friend is always claiming a spot next to you in bed, it's not just because the mattress is soft. It's because dogs are social animals that thrive on closeness and companionship.
Sleeping in the family's big bed allows pets to stay near the people they trust the most, giving them a sense of comfort and security, especially because your scent creates a familiar environment that can be calming. Aside from that, though, pups also enjoy the elevated vantage point a bed provides, allowing them to easily keep an eye on their surroundings and stay part of the action with you.
While many pet owners find sharing their space with a furry companion is a small price to pay for the endless love, joy, and meaningful dog snuggles their pet brings into their life, some owners prefer to keep their bedrooms pet-free. There isn't necessarily a right or wrong decision about whether to let your dog sleep in bed with you, as long as you have a healthy, happy pet at the end of the day!
