People online can’t get enough of one very sleepy Golden Retriever who just wanted to nap instead of getting out of the car. Wally, the star of the viral TikTok shared by @wally.meets.world, could barely keep his eyes open while his mom tried to coax him out—he was truly fighting for his life to stay awake. Unfortunately for him, nap time wasn’t on the schedule.
Getting a dog out of the car can be a challenge on a normal day, but doing it in the rain? Nearly impossible. Even though Wally was fully prepared for the weather in the cutest little raincoat and matching hat, he still wasn’t having it. Sleep was calling.

“Come on, Wally. It’s time to come in,” his mom says in the video as the Golden tries his best to drift off. “You can’t fall asleep, bud. You can’t fall asleep.”
In the caption, she joked, “Another day in the life of my very furry toddler.”
Viewers immediately came to Wally’s defense in the comments.
“Hims needs to be carried inside like the baby hims is,” one person insisted.
Another wrote, “I am Wally’s lawyer and it is mandatory that you carry him inside because he is the goodest boy. I don’t make the rules… just enforce them.”
“You gotta understand he has a very tough life and has to catch a few zzz’s whenever he can,” someone teased.
Another commenter summed it up perfectly: “There is mom’s schedule… and then there is Wally’s schedule.”
How Much Sleep Do Golden Retrievers Need?
Wally’s exhaustion actually makes total sense. Adult Golden Retrievers typically need 12 to 14 hours of sleep a day, and puppies can snooze up to 20 hours. So if Wally was done for the day, well, that was simply biology at work.
One thing’s for sure: sleepy or not, Wally has officially stolen the internet’s heart.
