Snuggles was a chocolate Labrador puppy who had one very special gift: she could fall asleep anywhere, anytime. Whether it was on a soft bed, a pile of leaves, or even on a cold metal bench, the moment Snuggles felt at ease, she’d drift off into a blissful nap, snoring softly.
Her owner, Lucy, adored Snuggles and took her everywhere — to the park, the café, and even on her errands. But Lucy knew she had to keep an eye on Snuggles because sometimes, when she least expected it, the little puppy would find the strangest spots to nap.
One sunny afternoon, after a long walk through the bustling streets of town, Lucy stopped by the bakery to pick up a loaf of fresh bread. Snuggles trotted alongside her, her nose sniffing all the delicious scents. The moment Lucy turned to pay, Snuggles noticed a cozy little corner near the hallway that led to the post office. The hallway was quiet, shaded, and the floor felt cool under her paws — the perfect nap spot.
Without a second thought, Snuggles yawned, plopped down, and leaned her head against a metal railing. Her mouth curled into a happy, sleepy smile as she drifted into slumber, her tiny teeth peeking out. Passersby chuckled at the sight of the puppy who looked like she’d been frozen mid-dream, her head oddly but comfortably propped against the rail.
Lucy walked out of the bakery, bread in hand, and glanced around.
“Snuggles?” she called, puzzled.
She followed the giggles of a few children pointing toward the hallway. There was Snuggles, snoozing peacefully, entirely oblivious to the world. Lucy couldn’t help but laugh as she gently knelt beside her furry friend.
“Oh, Snuggles,” she whispered. “You really can nap anywhere, can’t you?”
Carefully, Lucy picked up the snoozing puppy and cradled her in her arms. Snuggles barely stirred, letting out a content sigh, still lost in dreamland. As they headed home, Lucy thought about all the strange places Snuggles had slept before — on top of shoes, in flower pots, once even halfway inside a grocery bag.
But no matter where Snuggles wandered off to sleep, Lucy knew one thing for sure: home was wherever they were together.
And as long as Snuggles had a place to nap — be it a hallway, a bench, or Lucy’s loving arms — she was the happiest puppy in the world.
