Even when you think you know what your dog is doing, they somehow manage to surprise you. And when it happens in the middle of the night, confusion usually turns into chaos pretty quickly.
That’s exactly what happened to Katherine Stewart, a college student from Indiana. Just as she was drifting off to sleep, she heard a strange noise coming from the side of her bed. What she discovered moments later left her completely stunned — and soon laughing uncontrollably.
The Unexpected Noise
At first, Katherine was confused and slightly alarmed. The sound was odd, rhythmic, and definitely not something she expected in the quiet of the night.
Then she realized the source: her dog, Cash.
Somehow, Cash had managed to slip into the small gap beside her bed while he was asleep and ended up completely stuck.
Seeing him awkwardly wedged in place with his paws stretched out made Katherine burst into laughter.
Wanting to share the hilarious moment, she quickly grabbed her phone and recorded a short video of her clumsy pup.

“Heard a weird sound in the middle of the night and it just turned out to be my dog stuck in the crack after falling off the bed,” Katherine wrote in the caption.
“The way his arms are splayed,” she added.
She had no idea that Cash’s late-night mishap was about to make him an internet celebrity.
The Internet Couldn’t Stop Laughing
After posting the clip, Katherine was amazed to see it go viral within hours. Cash, her English Cream Retriever, became a social media star overnight.
Just days before, he had been quietly lounging with his Border Collie sibling. Now, thousands of viewers were leaving comments and laughing at his goofy predicament.
“The arms are taking me OUT,” one person joked.
“This happened to me in college once except I was the one in the crack and there was no dog there to help,” another quipped.
Others chimed in with similar stories about their own pets:
“Reminds me of the time my dog got stuck UNDER my bed at 1 am and I couldn’t lift my bed and get her out too so I had to go wake up my dad,” someone shared.
Concerned viewers asked if Cash was okay, so Katherine posted an update to reassure everyone.
Replying to @Julia Beevers he’s made a full recovery
“This is Cash and he wants everyone to know he made it out of the crack alive and is enjoying his blueberries,” she wrote alongside a clip of him happily eating treats.
Cash’s little adventure turned into a viral laugh for thousands — and a reminder that sometimes our dogs’ funniest moments happen completely by accident.
