Posing for photo shoots can be very exhausting. Just ask Benny, the adorable puppy the internet has fallen in love with. So, here’s how the story goes — Benny posed for his guide dog initiation photo shoot, but just couldn’t stay awake.
In a video that is going viral on social media, the adorable dog nods to sleep and at one point even falls on his back during the photo shoot. The video of sleepy Benny has since become a hit on social media.
The clip, shared by Twitter handle We Rate Dogs, has been viewed more than 10.4 million times since it was posted on Thursday, June 30. The note accompanying the clip reads: “This is Benny. He fell asleep during his guide dog photo shoot. 12/10 we still think he has what it takes.”

Another introduced Twitter to her furball, Bella, along with a photo of her nap. “This is Bella. She loves to sleep. She’s 14 years old now, but she could have been a guide dog. I love my Lab,” the tweet read.

We also met Dash, another adorable doggy – who also likes to take a nap – on the same thread. About Dash, his pet parent said, “My good boy Dash is an energetic bunny, but once he settles down, he’s a great nap. Plus, he’s bird-obsessed.”
