A giant family dog has melted the hearts of viewers on TikTok after a video of him climbing into bed with his owners went viral on the platform.
The clip, shared on August 20 by the pet’s owner @brittanyandjax, captures the couple’s 5-year-old Cane Corso making himself comfortable on their king-sized bed.
With the confidence of someone who knows that he is well loved, the 145-pound dog wedges himself right between his two owners, sprawling out and enjoying a cuddle.
An overlaid text on the video read, “this is what bedtime looks like when you let your 145 [pound] Cane Corso sleep in your king size bed,” while the caption adds: “A whole lot of love with this Giant! Can’t deny him a comfy spot.” Since being posted, the clip has been viewed over a million times.
The scene resonated instantly with animal lovers on the platform, many of whom could relate to the canine’s desperate need for affection. In the comments, TikTok users joked about the couple’s nightly challenge of carving out personal space while competing with a dog that outweighs many adults.

The image of two people clinging to the edge of their own mattress while their pet stretches luxuriously in the middle proved especially entertaining, sparking laughter and recognition from fellow dog owners.
“I have two and my bed literally broke,” one viewer said. “Not even kidding.”
“Same except she’s going in and out of the blankets and won’t lay down till we lift them for her,” another added.
“Such a mom thing to push the pillow away so he can breathe,” a third viewer shared. “Hahaha, I’m guilty of the same knowing they will move if they need to.”
“We have three Cane Corso’s I get the worst sleep we have a California king but it’s like a small twin for us,” another said.
“Our Corso is our only dogs that don’t want to sleep with us he only wants to sleep close to the doors to check it,” another added.
“My kind of dog mom,” another said. “I too will inconvenience my husband for our boys’ comfort.”
“I just know he snored like he worked a double,” another viewer joked.
“He’s so polite waiting for his spot to be free,” another added.
Cane Corsos, an ancient Italian mastiff breed, are renowned for their sheer size and protective instincts.
Male adults typically weigh between 99 and 110 pounds, though some, like the dog in the video, can grow far larger. With their muscular build, broad heads and deep bark, they have historically served as guard dogs and hunting companions.
Yet the viral clip highlights a softer side to the breed: affectionate, intelligent, loyal and eager to be close to their families.
