Video: Dog Can’t Sleep Without Giant Emotional Support Toy

Sometimes, a little support is all we need to go from one day to another, and our pets are no exception. An adorable Instagram video exhibited how this dog, a mini Dachshund named Dinero, couldn’t sleep without his giant emotional support toy — a dinosaur bigger than him. The tiny pupper’s dog mom, Sam, documented the cute moment, which happens “every night,” showing him gearing up for a good night’s sleep but not without his favorite plushie. The clip showed Dinero getting into bed with the massive toy on top of him.

Dog’s emotional support toy is twice his size in viral video

This relatable dog video captured a Dachshund refusing to let go of his emotional support toy twice his size while heading to bed. Like many of us, Dinero needs his dinosaur plushie by his side while hitting the hay, and his dog mom shared the heartwarming moment with the internet. At first, the clip showed the pup struggling to climb the bed with the toy in his mouth. Then, the dino’s little head popped up, with the dog appearing in the frame shortly after.

In the following sections of the video, the mini Doxie walks across the bed from the edge to the middle with the toy, double his size, still in his mouth. Taking adorable, tiny steps, he walks up to his mom, Sam, who is recording the moment while lying in bed, and sits beside her after gently placing the plushie nearby. Finally, the post shows Dinero slowly drifting into deep sleep while gently resting his paw on his mom’s hand, with the soft toy on top of him.

The dog’s video of cuddling his emotional support toy has amassed nearly six million views, likely owing to the cuteness overload and viewers finding it relatable. Additionally, commenters remarked that their respective Instagram algorithms were finally getting “it spot-on” and noted how much they loved that his toy was “bigger than him.” Another user jokingly called the dino plushie a “supportasaurus,” while one more pointed out the pup’s strength, given his ability to jump on the bed with the massive toy.
