It’s difficult to think of many things more satisfying to watch than a dog doing a big stretch. After all, there’s a good reason downward-facing dog is one of the most-practiced yoga poses. A dog’s big stretch can indicate an array of positive feelings, such as happiness, contentment, relaxation, and fondness toward an owner. Sometimes, of course, the stretch is simply an instinctive movement to boost circulation and reduce stiffness upon waking. Even still, the big stretch can be absolutely adorable.<\/p>\n
Take, for example, seven-week-old Zoey. In a TikTok video that’s been liked nearly 4 million times, Zoey starts out sound asleep. The pup is dozing so deeply, with her little pink tongue hanging out, that several commenters admit they initially feared the puppy was deceased. Then, Zoey wakes up suddenly and does the cutest full-body stretch, complete with shaking limbs. “She stretched her body and soul,” Anaaamp3 observes.<\/p>\n
Several commenters mention that any owner who witnesses their pet doing a big stretch<\/a> must immediately comment upon it. “It’s a federal crime to not say oooo biiiiig stretch after such a big stretch,” Mariekayyy13 jokes. “Tell her I said AWWW BIG STRETCH,” Moey6711 adds.<\/p>\n Read more: The Most Obedient Dog Breeds Ever<\/a><\/p>\nWhat is a BoShih?<\/h2>\n
