Boxer Thinks Brother's New Bedroom Is for Him in Cute Clip: 'Tail Wagging'

A dog called Bruno has melted hearts all over the internet after a video of him caught sleeping in his brother's new room went viral on social media.

The clip was shared on TikTok on Tuesday by the dog's owner, under the username Babyarthurandboxerbruno. The boxer can be seen sleeping in his little brother's new room, waving his tail as he enjoys a nap on the bed.

The clip comes with a caption that reads: "We did our son a new bedroom and the dog assumed it was for him." This is followed by: "The tail wagging at the end is muggy."

According to VCA Animal Hospitals, whether or not your dog can sleep on your bed depends on both his health conditions and yours.

The VCA website states: "Some people are specifically allergic to dogs. Prolonged close contact with dogs exposes them to pet dander and may result in respiratory symptoms. But even people who do not have pet allergies can suffer increased allergic symptoms when co-sleeping with their dog.

"When dogs are outside, dust and pollen cling to their fur and can exacerbate human allergies," the website adds. "They may leave that dander, pollen, and dust on the bed coverings, so the allergic effects linger long after a dog leaves the bedroom."

If you suffer from this but still want your dog to sleep near you, VCA suggests wiping your dog with a damp towel before he comes inside. It is a good daily routine to decrease the amount of outdoor pollen and dust carried inside. The VCA experts also suggest bathing your dog and using HEPA [high-efficiency particulate air] filters in your home.

However, dogs can also carry certain intestinal parasites, fleas, and ticks, which are known to cause human illnesses. Sleeping with your dog increases your exposure to these parasites and vector-borne diseases. In this case, your veterinarian can prescribe broad-spectrum parasite control to protect both your pet and you from such illnesses.

The video quickly gained popularity on social media, attracting animal lovers from across the platform. It has so far received over 520,200 views and 95,000 likes.
