Some dogs leap out of bed ready to start the day.
Zebby is not one of those dogs.
The sleepy Golden Retriever has been winning over viewers with his hilariously grumpy reaction to being woken up before 10 a.m.
In a TikTok shared by his owner, Zebby can barely keep his eyes open as he sits there looking deeply unimpressed with the entire concept of morning.
His mom points out his grumpy expression and tries to reassure him.
“It’s okay,” she tells him, before adding that he looks “very handsome.”
Zebby, however, doesn’t seem convinced.
He slowly tries to wake himself up, but by the end of the video, he gives up and puts his head back down.

His mom summed up the moment perfectly in the caption, writing that Zebby was basically saying, “I don’t wanna wake up, I wanna sleep.”
Viewers immediately related to the tired pup.
One person called him a “grumpy buddy,” while another joked that “he has many thoughts weighing him down.”
Someone else defended Zebby’s mood by pointing out that “he needs his beauty sleep.”
Other viewers were firmly on his side.
“It’s too early for all this,” one person wrote.
Another joked that Zebby was just like them, except they wouldn’t want to be woken up before 10 p.m.
Judging by the look on his face, Zebby may have found his people.
For this Golden Retriever, mornings clearly come with one simple rule: let him sleep.
