Terrified Woman Thinks Her 17-Year-Old Dog Passed Away, Only To Discover She Was Tricked

Sharing is caring!

Just imagine how scary it would be to think your pet is gone forever. Well, that’s what happened to one TikTok user named Heather, when her 17-year-old dog, Gigi, seemed to have taken her last breath.

In a video that went viral, Gigi was shown lying still on a pillow with her tongue out.

Her owner, feeling terrified, kept calling her name, getting more and more worried as Gigi didn’t respond. 

Luckily, just when it seemed like there was no hope left, something amazing happened. Gigi suddenly moved, and her eyes opened wide. 

The poor Heather was so relieved that she let out a loud scream of happiness! Seriously, Gigi, you can’t just freak us out like that, what were you thinking?

After sharing a video on TikTok with the caption “When your 17-year-old dog is asleep but you think she took her last breath,” it became super viral really fast, resonating with viewers who could relate to the fear and relief experienced by Heather.

A lot of viewers also shared their own experiences of being worried about their pets. But, at the same time, many others made jokes about it too:

“She lowkey was gone, you just scared her back to life.”

I can only imagine how scared Heather must have been! I mean, who wouldn’t be? But honestly, it’s hard not to find humor in the situation. The scream of fear is just too funny! 

But, if you want to avoid making the same mistake as Gigi’s owner, remember this: when your dog is sleeping really well, don’t jump to conclusions that they’re gone. 

They might just be playing a little trick on you and will be super annoyed if you wake them up from their important nap!
