This golden retriever’s "pillow" choices are cracking people up—see where he naps next
- Replies 0
Dogs have a way of keeping us entertained—especially when they do something unexpectedly adorable.
If you’ve ever caught your pup using a shoe, the laundry pile, or even your leg as a pillow, you’ll appreciate the creativity of one particularly inventive golden retriever named Zebby.
Zebby has taken the internet by storm for his unconventional nap-time choices, and pet lovers are loving every second.
From tiled floors to table legs, he’s proving that comfort is in the eye (or snout) of the beholder.
Let’s take a look at the hilarious lineup of “pillows” this cozy canine has tried—and how they stack up.
He'll nap on just about anything
Zebby’s human, known on social media as @zebbythegolden, recently shared a video that’s both charming and laugh-out-loud funny: a compilation of all the random “pillows” Zebby has used, complete with a rating system.
It turns out dogs don’t need memory foam to find their happy place!
A bathroom floor, cool and classic
Zebby’s early days featured a favorite among pups: the cold tile of the bathroom floor.
While humans might not find it the coziest option, dogs often seek out cooler surfaces to nap on.
The clip shows a young Zebby sprawled out in blissful sleep, earning the tile a 12/10 for cuteness—if not comfort.

The wall? Bold choice.
Then there’s Zebby using a wall as a pillow.
Yep, you read that right—he rests his head against the wall, in a position that looks more like yoga gone wrong.
It’s a bit of a head-scratcher (literally), and gets a 2/10 score for what we can only assume was a one-time experiment.
Snuggle puppy, snuggle perfection
Not all of Zebby’s pillow picks are hard and awkward.
His stuffed “snuggle puppy” earns a perfect 10/10 for warmth, softness, and sheer adorableness.
Watching him snuggle up to it is enough to melt anyone’s heart!

Table leg = air pillow
For reasons known only to Zebby, one nap attempt involved wedging his face next to a table leg—without actually resting on anything.
The floating-head approach didn’t seem especially comfy, and the look on his face said it all.
Score? 1/10. It’s the thought that counts.
The fireplace speaker—surprisingly sturdy
One of Zebby’s more industrial picks is a black speaker near the fireplace.
It’s not soft, but it’s solid, and Zebby seems satisfied enough.
Creative? Yes. Cushiony? Not so much.
Final verdict: 5/10.

Why do dogs choose weird sleeping spots?
While we laugh at these silly snoozes, there’s real behavior behind it.
Dogs often seek out cool, firm, or enclosed spaces when they rest—it’s part instinct, part comfort-seeking.
And sometimes, like Zebby, they’re just trying things out for fun (or attention).
Golden retrievers like Zebby are known for being playful, curious, and endlessly adaptable.
Whether it’s a plush toy or a speaker box, they’ll make themselves at home wherever they please—and look ridiculously cute doing it.
