If you need a purely relatable dog moment to brighten your day, look no further than Kayce, a nearly 3‑year‑old greyhound from Toronto whose epic post‑nap hiding spot has taken social media by storm. A video shared by his owner that shows exactly where he chose to snooze after a vet‑run has racked up millions of views — and part of the internet simply can’t cope with how cozy (and cheeky) this sleepy pup looks.
Greyhounds are known for their gentle, affectionate spirit and deep love of sleep. Once they’ve had time to rest, these sighthounds — bred for explosive bursts of speed and long periods of calm — can drift off into some of the deepest naps you’ll ever see.
But Kayce’s choice of midday nap location is what made his story go viral.
In a now‑viral TikTok video posted by @kayce_the_whippet, Kayce’s owner, Ellice Flak, tries to rouse him after a vet visit so she can take him outside into the cold winter air.
Instead of emerging ready for the next adventure, Kayce had curled himself inside his owner’s sweatshirt, head tucked into the sleeve and body snuggled snugly against her belly. It’s not exactly a typical “dog on a couch” nap — it’s you’ve‑got‑to‑see‑this levels of cozy.
Ellice captioned the clip, “The most heartbreaking time of the day,” since Kayce was so comfortable he visibly didn’t want to move. When she tries to pull him out of the snug heap of sweatshirt fabric, he barely registers it — refusing to budge without the promise of a treat.
That stubborn, snug look is both hysterical and deeply cute, capturing exactly how many of us feel about leaving a warm bed or couch on a chilly day.
It turns out Kayce’s behaviour isn’t entirely random — greyhounds love warmth and closeness. Despite being famed for their racing background, these dogs quickly settle into household life and become champion couch potatoes, especially in cold weather.
They’re affectionate creatures who thrive on comfort and often want to be near their people, whether it’s cuddling on the sofa or burrowing into cozy fabrics.
TikTok users have been quick to connect with Kayce’s sleepy antics. Comments from viewers ranged from laughter about expecting his head to pop out your sleeve to heartfelt shares about how their own dogs refuse to move from the warmest spot in the house. A common sentiment? “That’s exactly how I feel about getting out of bed in the morning.”
Beyond pure amusement, the clip also gives a glimpse into greyhound personality traits. Though once bred for racing and quick sprints, greyhounds are surprisingly calm and laid‑back at home.
Once they’ve expended their energy in short bursts, they often prefer long stretches of relaxation — preferably in the warmest, coziest place they can find.
And while no one ever wants to force a dog into getting up before they’re ready, seeing Kayce so relaxed also highlights how deeply dogs can feel contentment and trust.
To curl up inside your sweatshirt like that isn’t just about warmth — it’s about security and comfort, two things every dog deserves.
Whether you’re a greyhound owner or simply a lover of wholesome pet videos, Kayce’s nap has reminded millions that sometimes the best part of the day is just being cozy.
So next time your pup refuses to stir from a comfy spot, remember: they’re not being stubborn — they’re living their best, snuggled‑up life.
