Meet Fado, a laid-back rescue dog whose nap game is now internet legend.
His owner, Instagram user @sunnrayy, decided to turn Fado’s most relaxed moments into something unforgettable:
A full video showcasing every place he’s napped—and rating them like a travel reviewer.
It’s funny, it’s sweet—and more than anything—it shows just how much dogs deserve comfort, adventure and sleep.
The clip opens with Fado snoozing on a sun-warmed rock in the middle of a stream—head resting gently on his mom’s reading lap—and that spot instantly earned an “11/10, I love him” rating.
Then we zoom forward through the montage:
Fado sprawled belly-up in a dry riverbed, earning “10/10—but why does he sleep like that?”
Fado draped over the side of a camper van mattress, his head hanging off—rated “3/10” since it looked a bit uncomfortable.
Fado on a hiking summit, curled on a bed overlooking mountains—“a good one for sure.”
Fado deep in a forest nap, pose so random it got a “2/10—why does he look like road kill?” from his human.
And finally: Fado on a beach chair, waves rolling in, eyes closed, breezy smile on his face—rated a perfect “10/10 main-character moment.”
In each frame you see more than a dog sleeping— you see a dog living. A dog who survived something (he’s a rescue, after all) and now gets to choose where to rest, how to dream.
His mom says the caption: “a nap like that would fix me.” And who wouldn’t agree?
What strikes me is how this video connects to something bigger. For many rescue dogs, the simple act of resting becomes a powerful statement: I’m safe. I’m loved. I matter.
When Fado curls up on that rock, unafraid of currents or strangers—he’s telling you: I found peace. And I earned it.
Also, the ratings give us a peek into our relationship with dogs. We laugh at the 3/10 nap spot. We cheer the 10/10 beach retreat.
But really we’re saying: our dogs deserve better than average. They deserve the top tier. The places we’d treat ourselves.
And Fado? He’s living that.
Viewers loved it. The video racked up over 64,000 likes. Comments ranged from “How is he comfy in half of these?!” to “That’s the kind of self-care I need.”
People saw in Fado something they felt: the craving for comfort, for freedom, for authenticity. In his naps we find our own calm.
So here’s a little challenge for you: watch the scenes of Fado. Notice how each nap isn’t just a pause—it’s a moment being claimed.
A dog deciding: this is my spot, this is my world. Then ask: what’s my spot? Where do I belong? Because dogs like Fado remind us: belonging isn’t just being with someone—it’s resting where you’re seen.
Where you’re safe.
If you ever feel like you’re just “getting by” (and let’s face it—we all do), scroll past the dog-nap posts. Stop when you see one that looks like freedom.
That looks like peace. Like Fado. Then be inspired. Rest. Laugh.
And maybe give your dog your most comfortable blanket—and watch how much they soak it in. Because naps are more than sleep.
They’re a statement.
