In the eight-second clip, we learn that Hulk is an animal testing survival, and this Beagle has every reason to be mad and angry, but he's grateful in this moment.
"Hulk, the animal testing survivor Beagle, is so grateful to have his very own bed," the text on the video reads.
As we watch the video, we can see Hulk, the senior Beagle, who loves sleeping in his own bed.
The bed, which is a dark gray color, looks like it has toes and toe beans, and Hulk fits perfectly in the bed. he's so happy about it that his tail will not stop wagging.
"Hulk, who spent his life in a testing lab, has found peace with his amazing forever family," the video's caption reads.
In the comments, people had much to say about the sweet dog and his comfort in this cozy bed.
"The people that save these animals in the real heroes in the world," one person wrote.
"Precious baby," another shared. "God bless him!"
"So nice to see him happy," someone else wrote.

How to Care For an Older Dog
According to the Walkin' Pets Blog, there are several things you can do to help you care for your senior dog as they get older and may experience health or comfort issues.
For example, the experts suggest you watch for potential joint issues.
"Middle-aged dogs and senior dogs have a tendency to develop joint problems, especially osteoarthritis, due to many factors," Walkin' Pets Blog. "Intense physical activity, obesity, and a poor diet, among other factors, add a lot of strain on the joints."
However, even though older dogs may experience joint pains, it's important for them to continue to exercise safely. Having strong muscles will help stabilize their joints, too.
Walkin' Pets Blog says, "Despite how tired your senior dog might look or how disinterested they might be in taking a walk or playing fetch, you need to find a way to coax them into it."
Seeing new smells, toys, animals, and adventures they get from going out and exercising can give them enough pep and energy, which is perfect for dogs that are getting older.
If your dog is struggling to sleep, Senior Dog Revolution says having a "cozy" zone is something that can help older dogs. They explained, "We transitioned our senior dog slowly from the bed to this area over a few weeks and provided him with everything he could need there."
In their cozy zone, they had "bedding, food, water, and pee pads. We found that in combination with the next tip, this safe, ‘zone’ for our senior dog was really helpful."
We love seeing how happy Hulk is in his super cozy bed.
