With his favorite blankie in tow, the foster pup scoots down the stairs using his comfort blanket as a slide. This dog is clearly wanting to get to his nap as fast as possible and uses his clever problem-solving skills to slide into sleep territory.
Once down the stairs, this smart pup grabs his blanket with his mouth, drags it to his awaiting dog bed, plops into his coziest spot and quickly slips off into dreamland - with the confidence knowing his trusted blanket is close by to protect him and keep him secure while he takes an afternoon snooze.

More than just a sweet rescue dog social media video, this video is demonstrative of the faith rescue dogs put in their caretakers. Furthermore, the simplicity, smell, and textures of a comfort item like a blanket can help ease a dog's anxiety, and help them feel safe even in unknown situations like a new home -even if temporary.
This dog's attachment to his blanket, and his locating his preferred sleeping spot, demonstrate his comfort in his new home. Foster dogs face new situations, people, and homes, in their pursuit of their forever home. A transitional item that stays with them, in this case the dog's soft pink blanket, can help the dog feel stability and ease anxieties, even in new situations.
With a rescue dog this sweet added to the family, and his sweet attachment to his blanket a sign of his comfort in his new environment, this family would be hard pressed to say goodbye to this pup. We're having a hard time, too.
