Daisy the Bulldog Stays Home Alone, And Proves Everyone Wrong
When Daisy, a young English bulldog, was left home alone outside her crate for the first time, her owner fully expected to walk into a scene of destruction. With her soft puppy wrinkles and innocent face, Daisy might look like an angel, but puppies left unsupervised often find mischief in even the cleanest of homes. Her owner, who posts under the Instagram handle @george.n.daisy.englishbulldogs, even braced followers for chaos with a caption that read: “When you leave your puppy home alone outside of the crate for their first time and think you’re coming home to a disaster.”
But what they found instead melted hearts everywhere. Daisy wasn’t tearing up the furniture or chewing on shoes. She wasn’t howling or scratching at the door. She was asleep—curled up peacefully between the couch cushions like she hadn’t a care in the world. The follow-up caption summed it up perfectly: “Daisy’s first time home alone outside of the crate for over an hour and this is what we come home to … A sweet sleepy princess.”
The video quickly took off online, gaining over 223,000 views and nearly 15,000 likes. In the comments, fellow bulldog parents shared stories of their own couch potatoes. One wrote, “She looks like she was judging you for even leaving!” Another joked, “One day a week my bulldog stays home alone 8am–4pm… I swear it’s her favorite day.”
Though English bulldogs are often described as low-energy and laid-back, experts caution that even the calmest dogs can get into trouble when left alone. According to PetMD, boredom or anxiety can still lead to destructive behavior if a dog isn’t given the right stimulation. The key is structure: consistent routines, rotating toys, and slowly building up to longer periods alone can help ease the transition.
For dogs with separation anxiety, gradual desensitization can be effective—such as practicing brief exits or pairing departure cues (like grabbing keys) with calm behavior. In more severe cases, veterinary input or anxiety aids may be needed.
But Daisy didn’t need any of that—not this time. Her peaceful nap has since become an internet favorite and a surprising reminder that sometimes, our pups behave far better than we expect.
As her owner put it best, “She’s a sweet sleepy princess.” And judging by the reaction online, the internet agrees.
