Blu, stretched out in a trance-like sleep, seems so still that his concerned brother Gus approaches, casting an amusingly worried glance at his ‘lifeless’ sibling. The comical scene has drawn laughter from viewers worldwide, racking up over 642,000 views and 66,000 likes on TikTok.

The American Kennel Club (AKC) suggests that a dog sleeping on its back – much like Blu – implies a deep level of comfort and trust in its environment. Dogs, needing at least 12 hours of sleep a day, adopt various sleep positions, each having its unique implications.

From the ‘donut’ pose – a tightly curled up ball known for offering a sense of safety and temperature regulation, to the ‘superman’ position – sprawled out on the belly for a quick cool down – these canine siesta styles reflect their mood and comfort level.
