A Sleeping Pit Bull in a Window Becomes a Daily Joy for One New Yorker
For one New Yorker, the highlight of her morning isn’t breaking a sweat at the gym—it’s catching a glimpse of a sleeping pit bull curled up in the window of a nearby apartment. In a now-viral TikTok video posted by @erikaedaly, the peaceful pup is seen napping among a pile of stuffed animals, framed by sparkling curtains, in a scene that looks almost too perfect to be real.
Erika walks by this same apartment each day on her way to the gym. As the video shows, the dog lies blissfully unaware of its viral fame, resting on a soft blanket with toys gently propped around it. The caption reads, “The highlight of my gym walk every morning. Wish I knew his/her name.” That simple message, paired with the cozy scene, struck a chord with viewers. The video has since gained over 780,000 views and nearly 200,000 likes.
Commenters couldn’t get enough of the pit bull’s peaceful presence. Some asked how Erika resists the urge to knock on the window or pet the sleeping dog. Others pointed out the lovingly arranged toys, which hint at a life filled with care and affection. It was clear to many that this dog is deeply cherished.
The video also sparked conversations about canine sleep patterns. While this dog might seem unusually sleepy, experts say that adult dogs typically sleep 12 to 14 hours per day. For puppies and senior dogs, that number can stretch up to 20 hours depending on age, energy level, and health. So while it might look like extreme laziness to humans rushing through their morning routines, for dogs, rest is part of a healthy, happy life.
In the bustling pace of New York City, this sleepy pup has become an unexpected source of serenity—not just for Erika, but for everyone who watched her video. It’s a reminder that joy often shows up in the quietest places: a sleepy face in a sunny window, a pile of plush toys, and a stranger’s daily ritual of passing by and smiling.
Erika still doesn’t know the dog’s name, but one thing is certain—the pup has become a little piece of comfort in a big, noisy city.
