When shopping for a new lounge chair, most people focus on things like color, fabric, and whether it reclines. But for one man, comfort isn’t just about human preferences — it’s about his dog’s too.
TikTok user Sam recently posted a heartwarming video of her uncle testing out chairs at a furniture store. While he once wasn’t so sure about having a dog, it’s clear now that his furry friend holds a special place in his heart. His top priority? Finding a chair that’s perfect for belly rubs.

In the video, Sam’s uncle sits down and mimics petting his dog, trying to determine if the chair is “belly-rub approved.” Whether or not he ended up buying that particular chair is unknown, but the sweet act didn’t go unnoticed. The clip quickly went viral, racking up more than 13 million views as fellow pet lovers related to his thoughtful approach.
As it turns out, he’s not alone in making furniture decisions based on pet-friendliness.
In another touching story, Aleecia Dahl recalled how her grandfather once brought his dog, Coco, along while shopping for a new recliner. He wasn’t just looking for comfort — he needed a chair with a wide enough footrest to let him and Coco relax together side by side. According to Dahl, finding the right fit for both of them was non-negotiable.
Eventually, he found the perfect chair — and hopefully, Sam’s uncle did too. One thing’s for sure: for true dog lovers, a chair isn’t just a place to sit. It’s a spot to share with your best friend.
