Great Danes are often referred to as the “Apollo of Dogs,” and for good reason. These majestic canines can grow up to 34 inches tall and weigh between 120 to 200 pounds!

One family in Niagara Falls, Ontario, decided to name their 10-month-old Great Dane “Moose” as a nod to the breed’s impressive size.

Although Moose is still a pup, he’s got big dreams—literally.

Before he outgrows his youthful agility, he decided to take advantage of his family’s trampoline.

But here’s the twist: he wasn’t bouncing around like you’d expect.

Instead of using the trampoline for some high-flying fun, Moose chose it as his perfect napping spot.

And we’re not talking about a quick snooze; this pup was in a full-on, deep sleep, lying on his back with his paw covering his face.

Moose’s mom wasn’t too thrilled about his choice of a napping location.

She opened the porch door and called out, “Moose,” even adding a kissy noise to grab his attention.

But Moose was deep in dreamland and didn’t budge.

Moose’s mom couldn’t believe her eyes. “Oh my God,” she exclaimed, amazed that her calls had zero impact on her slumbering fur baby.

Moose was so engrossed in his sleep that he seemed to be in another world altogether.

Finally, desperate to wake him up, Mom resorted to whistling. And voila!

The sharp sound pierced through Moose’s dreams and roused him from his sleep. But let’s just say he wasn’t thrilled about it.

Moose woke up, but he wasn’t ready to abandon his cozy state. He flopped over and gave his mom a look that screamed, “Why are you waking me up?”

His awkward, twisted position only added to the hilarity of the moment.

The video of Moose’s trampoline escapade has taken the internet by storm. “Why is he positioned like a fallen gargoyle?” one commenter wondered.

“What are you doing?” his mom asked, still puzzled by his odd sleeping posture.

The video has garnered more than 34 million views, leaving millions in stitches.

Commenters couldn’t get enough of Moose’s adorable antics.

“Clearly, Moose was sleeping and was in the zone. There was no need to interrupt his slumber,” said one YouTube user.

Another added, “Moose had the, ‘I know you ain’t just wake me up to ask me no dumb question’ face.”

Moose is such a cutie, and we’re so glad that he got to have a good nap while he was on the trampoline. Hopefully, he got a little exercise in there too.

As one commenter put it:

“He’s been jumping on it all day and wore his self out! I know I’d need a nap afterwards.”

If you’re in need of a good laugh today, Moose’s trampoline nap is the perfect pick-me-up! We’re so glad his owner shared this cute moment with us.

Moose is a real character, and we’re sure he’s going to have a great time growing up in this fun house.
