Dogs often react with excitement when their owners return home, but one Labrador in New York has captured the internet's attention with a rather unusual response. Magnus, a laid-back Labrador retriever, was found sprawled on his bed, looking like he had just finished a long day of work. His owner, Brian Benson, shared this amusing moment on social media, where it quickly went viral.
Benson had anticipated Magnus would rush to greet him at the door, but instead, he found his dog in a deep sleep, lying on his back with his tongue out and limbs relaxed. The scene was so unexpected that it sparked a flurry of humorous comments from viewers, with some joking about Magnus's "secret life" and others speculating about what could have exhausted him so much.
Despite his relaxed demeanor at home, Magnus is actually a trained therapy dog. At eight years old, he has previously worked as a guide dog and is known for his friendly nature and ability to interact with people. Magnus and his owner have gained a significant following on TikTok, with over 3 million fans, by creating entertaining videos that showcase the dog's unique personality.
Benson believes that Magnus has the power to bring joy to people, and their creative videos are a way to spread happiness. The viral video not only broke the stereotype that dogs always enthusiastically greet their owners but also highlighted the special bond between Magnus and his owner.
