Dogs never fail to surprise us with their hilarious and heartwarming reactions to life’s oddities, and one California pup has stolen hearts online for his unexpected attachment to a unique item—his owner’s “boyfriend pillow.”
Rebecca Adam, a California resident, purchased the quirky pillow for herself, not anticipating that her dog, Nugget, would become obsessed with it. Nugget, who typically isn’t a cuddly dog, surprised Rebecca by instantly bonding with the pillow.
Rebecca shared, “I bought it for myself and didn’t expect that my dog, Nugget, would have any reaction to it. But to my surprise, he loved it so much he claimed it as his own.”
From the moment Nugget got hold of the pillow, it became his constant companion. Rebecca quickly realized she wasn’t going to get it back. “At one point, I thought about taking it away from him, but I didn’t have the heart to. He was so happy cuddling with it,” she said.
What makes this story even more unusual is that Nugget is not typically affectionate with people. “He doesn’t like cuddling with others, which is why it’s so funny that he’s so attached to this pillow,” Rebecca explained.
Rebecca documented Nugget’s love for the pillow in a viral video, showcasing his adorable snuggling sessions. The clip quickly gained traction, with viewers leaving hilarious and endearing comments.
One commenter noted Nugget’s clear displeasure at being interrupted: “Not him looking at you like you’re interrupting! This is adorable.” Another shared their moment of realization about the video: “I was sooooo weirded out by the way the person was laying, then as it got closer, I was like ohhhhhh a puppy.”
The bond between Nugget and his pillow has proven to be more than a passing fascination. According to Rebecca, Nugget has completely claimed ownership. “This isn’t a one-time thing. He’s not giving it back,” she added.
Nugget’s attachment to the “boyfriend pillow” has not only entertained his owner but also brought joy to thousands online. One thing’s for sure—this pup is living his best life, and there’s no breaking up this adorable duo anytime soon.
