A dog called Eggnog has gone viral on social media after being kicked out of doggy daycare and "encouraged to not return" because of her behavior.
In a post shared on TikTok on Tuesday by @eggnogthebulldog, the English bulldog can be seen peacefully napping in her owner's car as if nothing ever happened after getting banned from daycare effective immediately.
A caption explains: "My dog after being kicked out of daycare for headbutting six dogs and peeing in their water bowls."

The poster, Jennifer, from New York, told Newsweek that Eggnog was 4 months old in the clip. She had dropped her off at doggy daycare for the first time in hopes of socializing her and helping her make some local friends—but that didn't happen.
"I got a call to come pick her up because she was being 'disruptive' within two hours of me dropping her off. I was 'encouraged' to get her training and to not return," Jennifer said.

The American Kennel Club states that puppy training has two key components: relationship building and structure. Owners should ensure that their puppy feels safe before starting training.
The AKC explains that by 16 weeks, puppies should become familiar with their surroundings, including traffic noises, public transportation, car rides, people, dogs, and activities, including visits to the vet.
At this stage of their growth, they can be taught basic impulse control, which can take any form, although most owners start with simple commands such as "sit down."
By six months, puppies should know polite play and all the basics of housetraining, including going potty in the right places. By the time they're one year old, they should master basic commands such as "sit, down, and stay (even with distractions), come when called (particularly when off-leash), loose-leash walking, [and] drop it and leave it."
"Bulldogs are bulldozers! They are thick-headed, stubborn, and determined, but they are also super lovable, super sweet, and often just misunderstood," Jennifer said.
The video quickly went viral on TikTok and has received over 700,200 views and 40,900 likes on the platform so far.
One user, @Cat2023, commented that the pup "is knocked out after all of the hard work [she] did, so adorable."
TikToker @Latonyasmith4406 said that Eggnog's "job is done for today."
