If you’ve ever met a Gret Dane before, you have a sense of just how massive they can be.

Standing anywhere between 2 1/2 to just under 3 feet tall and weighing in between 120 to 200 lbs., it’s no great wonder these gentle giants are often referred to as the “Apollo of Dogs“.

That’s how Moose got his name.

An Ontario family based out of Niagra Falls thought it was the most fitting name for their adorable 10-month-old giant.

But Moose is still a puppy. He has yet to reach his full size.

So, he decided that he wanted to play on his family’s trampoline before he got too big for it.

Well, he wasn’t exactly playing on it.

He was napping on it.

And not just a light cat nap. He was in a full-on deep sleep lying on his back with his hand over his face.

Apparently, his mom didn’t like the idea of the dog napping on the trampoline, so she opened up the porch door and called out to him yelling, “Moose.”

Then she made a kissy noise at him but it still didn’t get his attention.

Moose was deep in Slumberland’s reaches.

So, mom called his name again.

And again.

“Oh my God,” she said, shocked that Moose wasn’t phased by her calls.

She called him again. Still, nothing. Moose was in blissful comfort during his sleep and looked very happy exactly where he was in the middle of a happy dream.

Mom finally resorted to whistling to try a wrestle Moose from his slumber.

And it worked.

The whistling sound was able to break through Moose’s deep sleep and rouse him.

He wasn’t stoked about it.

He didn’t seem too pleased and wasn’t ready to fully leave cozy mode. He just flopped over and looked at his mom like, “Why are you waking me up?”

Except his body was weirdly flopped and twisted, which made his reaction even more hilarious.

“Why is he positioned like a fallen gargoyle?” said one person who commented on a video

Mom seemed to be confused by his positioning too.

“What are you doing?” his mom asked. “What are you doing?”

That should have been pretty obvious. He was sleeping and thoroughly enjoying it until mom came along and woke this poor guy up from his chill time.

Moose’s little nap has millions of followers hysterically laughing. Not just one or two million either.

He’s had over 34 million views.

Moose’s reaction to having his “me-time” interrupted has effectively put a good portion of the internet in stitches, and for good reason. It’s hilarious.
