A delightful viral video on TikTok featuring a 7-year-old Belgian Malinois/Labrador mix rescue dog, Ben, has captured the hearts of netizens, amassing over 279,000 views. Shared by @benthewonderdog, the clip shows Ben’s unique pre-bedtime ritual: seeking comfort in two slices of bread.
In the video, a hand is seen offering Ben a slice of bread, with an overlaid message reading, “I need my emotional Support piece of bread so I can go to sleep silly hooman.” The endearing scene continues as Ben politely requests a second slice before hopping off to bed, pieces of bread in tow, according to a later post, to cuddle but not consume them.
Ben’s nightly routine has sparked an outpouring of amusement and empathy from TikTokers. Comments like “Sometimes I need emotional Support bread too,” and “I, too, need emotional Support bread before I go to bed,” reflect the widespread resonance of Ben’s ritual.
