My dogs have a wonderful bond, yet my Pug mix has yet to learn the concept of personal space. He loves his Doxie big sis and always feels the need to snuggle on top of her no matter how much room is on the couch or bed. She used to just tolerate this behavior and has grown to welcome her canine brother’s cuddles.
Hank the black Labrador puppy seems to have the same penchant for closeness and likes to share his canine brother Boone’s bed even if there isn’t any room.
In the TikTok from @goodboysbooneandhank, Boone the yellow Lab was sound asleep and taking up every inch of space in his dog bed. That didn’t stop Hank, who obviously felt like snuggling. The precious pooch gave his brother a tiny nudge and basically plopped himself right on top of Boone.
Hank was hanging off the dog bed but didn’t seem to mind since he was cuddling with his bestie brother.
“Personal space? Don’t know her,” the caption joked.
Followers found the scene adorable and shared their own stories of bonded fur babies.
“Labs don’t know personal space,” one remarked.
“My two do this as well it’s so cute,” another commented.
“That is literally our blonde and black lab. Our black lab just sits on top of our blonde,” a follower wrote.
“I just love this — that’s what 2 labs will do,” someone posted.
Labradors Are Extremely Affectionate
People of all ages consider Labradors a favorite breed because of their gentle yet playful personality and loving disposition. Labs are huge snugglers and prefer to be physically close to their loved ones.
These gentle giants show affection in a variety of ways, even when they’re puppies. Labradors often lean on their loved ones for closeness and gaze into their eyes, almost like a visual hug.

Labs are big tail-waggers, especially when they see their favorite people and fellow fur babies. They also like to cover family members and friends with plenty of kisses. Parents of Labradors see this devotion as one of their dog’s best attributes.
Though he was still sleeping when Hank muscled his way into the dog bed, Boone probably didn’t mind at all.
