Pet parents are used to waking up with their pets snuggling with them in their beds. But no one expects a stranger’s dog to sneak into their homes to make themselves comfortable in their beds. In one such interesting incident which occurred in 2022, a Tennesse couple woke up to get surprised by a stranger’s fur buddy in their bed. According to PEOPLE, Julie Thornton Johnson and her husband Jimmy usually allowed their three pet dogs to slide into the bed with the couple but this particular pooch did not belong to the pack. 

Johnson made a Facebook post to inform the community about this odd but hilarious situation and wrote: "It is absolutely normal to wake up in our house with one of OUR dogs in the bed with us. One small problem, this is not our dog, nor do we know how she got in our house." Johnson also wrote that “in the pitch darkness” they didn’t realize that there was an extra dog in their bed. "At first, we thought it was one of ours, but they rarely lay on the pillows! In pitch darkness, I just assumed it was. Wouldn't we all? As daylight began to creep in through our curtains we realized we were snuggling with someone else's dog. This is the weirdest post I have ever had to make. Is this your dog? Please share," she added.

While the sweet-looking Nala looked perfectly comfortable on the couple’s duvet, sprawled with contentment and without care, she was thankfully reunited with her owner. Cris Hawkins and Felicia Johnson who are Nala’s owners lived in the same neighborhood as Johnsons and the Facebook post helped them connect with their furry friend. "Our overly friendly pup, Nala has hit an all-time record for ignoring personal space and added yet another trick to her long list of Houdini acts," Hawkins wrote in a Facebook post. "She slipped her collar yesterday while being walked, ran down the street to a neighbor's house, somehow managed to get in their house and climbed into bed with them in the middle of the night."

"The woman and her husband have 3 dogs of their own that all sleep in bed with them. None of their dogs reacted to a random dog climbing into bed with them and the couple didn't even realize that it wasn't their dog in bed with them until the sun started to come up," Hawkins added. He also thanked the kind couple for taking care of their “overly friendly pet” and treating her like their own. Well, in the future, we hope Nala doesn’t break out of her leash and hitchhike with strangers who have malicious intentions.
