Every weekend, a rescue dog enjoys a sleepover with his owner’s father, but of course, no overnight stay is complete without an adorable pair of pajamas.
Whenever Saturday morning rolls around, Goose the pit bull mix waits by the door until his grandad’s car pulls up outside, and as soon as he sees the Jeep, he can hardly contain his excitement to get the sleepover started.
Goose’s owner, Breeze Stephens from St. Charles, Missouri, told Newsweek that Saturday is his favorite day of the week, and he knows when it’s time because he “starts whining and pacing super early” in anticipation.
As though that wasn’t sweet enough, Stephens recently bought Goose his very own pair of dinosaur pajamas to wear for the special occasion, and he couldn’t wait to show his grandad.

“I’ve never put pajamas on him before, so at first, he was a bit confused by what I was doing. But once they were on, I think he was just too excited that his Grand PawPaw was coming over, so he didn’t give them much thought after that,” Stephens continued.
“My dad got a good laugh out of the dinosaur jammies for sure. Goose and my dad are extremely close, and they have such a special bond.”
Stephens delighted her social media followers by sharing the video of Goose running outside to greet his grandad in a viral TikTok video (@thebreezyboo). Since the clip was posted on March 3, it has already been viewed more than 613,400 times and gained over 67,100 likes from adoring TikTok users.
Goose and his grandad enjoy so many fun activities when they’re together, including trips to the park, socializing with friends, and too many pup cups to keep track. There’s no wonder he gets so excited for each sleepover as he gets spoiled rotten every time.
Some people were curious about why they do this every week, so Stephens explained that her dad has always loved dogs, but after losing his Chihuahua in 2008, he vowed to never get another dog. “So now, he just borrows mine,” she joked.
“They stay busy for sure, as they go for lots of rides and they love to cruise around. There’s a wooded area that Goose loves to run around, and my dad will take him to his local bar when the weather is nice, and he hangs out on the patio with the guys.
“I think they’ve got a pup cup from every restaurant that offers them near my dad’s place. Back at his house, my dad almost always has new toys for Goose, and when they’re not playing, they’re cuddling.”
Stephens has been so amazed by the response on social media. It turns out that people simply can’t get enough of the duo’s loving bond, and they want to see many more videos of them together.
One TikTok user responded: “I didn’t think it could get cuter, but it did.”
Another person wrote: “I wish all animals got to feel this happiness! He is the cutest ever, him and PawPaw.”
While another comment reads: “This is the absolute cutest doggie and Grand PawPaw relationship I have ever seen.”
