This two-week old Lab manages to get some rest, despite all the background whining.

The YouTube video has gotten more than a million views, thousands of likes, and 56 dislikes, most of the latter coming from people concerned about the dog wailing in the background.

This English bulldog may look like grandpa, collapsed in the La-Z-Boy after too much Thanksgiving dinner, but he’s just a pup.

And we can only guess what he’s doing in his puppy dream.

The video comes from Suburban Bullies in Portales, New Mexico, which describes itself as “a responsible and ethical breeder of English Bulldogs.”

The owners of Quentin the pug say he is an accomplished sleeper, devoting about 20 hours a day to the cause.

There is no situation he can’t fall asleep in — including, as shown here, while sitting up.

Who among us hasn’t poked and prodded the paw pads of our peacefully slumbering pooch – pesteringly proving in the process that, when it comes to annoying behavior, humans are much more evolved than dogs?

This Great Dane seems pretty used to it, managing to sleep through a couple minutes of his paws being tinkered with before waking up and giving his owner that “What the hell? Get a life” look.

Watching a dog sleep is a comforting thing. It generally brings us, or at least me, a peaceful easy feeling. But it can also bring out our inner imp, leading us to tickle paws that would probably rather be left alone.

Are we jealous of all that sleep they’re getting? Or is it a cry for attention, our way of saying, “Let’s play?”

Dogs sleep, on average, two-thirds of each day. We generally spend only a third of the day snoozing.

That gives us a eight additional hours to accomplish all the important things mature and responsible adults must do, like taking video of our dogs while they’re sleeping.

You can’t blame us, because dogs — probably even more so than us — do some pretty unusual things while they’re sound asleep.

For the next couple of months, we’re going to feature a sleeping dog every Monday. (Monday seeming appropriate for some reason.)

We start with this pup who seems to have encountered something mildly disturbing in his dreams.
