CCTV footage shows pooch rearranging furniture at night to makes its own double bed

A very clever pooch left her owners stunned when she rearranged the living room furniture in the middle of the night - to make herself the perfect comfy double bed. Yvonne and David Gallop heard noises downstairs one evening after putting greyhound Polly to bed, and the following morning, they saw what all the commotion was.

After checking CCTV, the family realised the smart pup had decided one dog bed wasn't enough, and she made space for two. The footage from earlier this week shows seven-year-old Polly, from Northampton, East Midlands, dragging two beds together from opposite sides of the room.

At first, she jumps on one bed, before working out how to drag it over to the middle of the room.

Then she perfectly aligns them together and curls up on her new big bed for a snooze.

Yvonne, 63, and David, 66, couldn't believe their eyes when they spotted the footage - and realised their dog was even smarter than they thought.

"When we were upstairs, we could hear some scratching - so I checked the live camera on my phone," Yvonne said.

"I could see Polly asleep on both beds - and I assumed David had put them together before he went to bed.

"When I saw the webcam footage the next day I couldn't believe she'd done it herself.

"The way she did it and lined them up so perfectly - I'd never have even thought she could do that herself.

"She must have thought to herself, 'hey, this bed would be even better if it was a double'.

"We knew she was clever already but that, to me, was next-level clever - we're so proud of her."

Another dog is melting hearts online after her morning routine was captured on camera.

Maisy the 11-year-old golden retriever starts every day with a cuddle from her elderly neighbour, 90-year-old Richard, who walks from the nearby retirement village past her house.

In the viral video, Richard uses a walker to slowly make his way down the road, while Maisy growls in excitement.

Once he reaches her, Maisy approaches him for her morning cuddle and the pair have some quality bonding time together.

The same moment happens every single day - and it's enough to send people to tears.
