I thought my dog had an annoying habit of waking me up at night licking me – turns out they were trying to save me!

For the last few weeks I was waking up feeling unrested and I was gettin annoyed at my shihtzu Maltese mix for waking me up at like 2 am licking my face.

I was wondering why doesn’t she just sleep instead of being playful so late!!

Long story short, I was stopping breathing in my sleep and she somehow noticed each time and was rushing to try and wake me up so I can breathe again!

I put the camera to test it out lol and it turns out as soon as my snoring stopped and I went silent (stopped breathing) she got up from her bed and profusely began licking me.
