A TikTok video shows the hilarious moment when a Chihuahua named Bonzo decided to take a nap in an unexpected spot to evade his owner’s watchful eyes.
Bonzo, the tiny Chihuahua, sought a quiet place for a nap where nobody would disturb him. Unfortunately, his hiding skills were a little too good, causing his owner to panic when unable to locate him.
In the video shared on May 29 by user @lifewithbonzo, the owner narrates their search for Bonzo, who was nowhere to be found in the house until a suspicious duffle bag caught their attention.
The video, with a caption stating “He really said yes…and? At the end,” shows Bonzo snugly settled inside the open duffle bag, staring back at his owner with annoyance for disturbing his peace.
Amusingly, Bonzo’s napping escapade left TikTok users in stitches, with the clip amassing over 11,000 views by Saturday afternoon.
Reactions from TikTok Users
TikTok users were quick to react to Bonzo’s quirky hideout, with one user noting his “side eye” expression and another joking that he looked packed and ready to visit Nana’s house.
