French bulldog shows he can be an alarm clock

Link, the French bulldog, gnaws on his owner’s beard in an attempt wake him up, but Sarantos can’t be coaxed out of bed that easily. The cute pair that has captured the fancy of netizens engages in a battle of wills, with Sarantos nibbling in Link’s general direction in an effort to get his little alarm clock to shut off. 

The video has since garnered tens of thousands of comments, many of them about how their animals wake them up, too, and in much less pleasant ways. “We also have an alarm clock but ours is a cat,” reads one comment. “She comes in and starts meowing every two minutes she will continue doing it until you get out of bed.” 

Sarantos is a fitness author and self-described entertainer on social media, but Link is a bit of a social media star in his own right. His Instagram page, Slinky Linky the Frenchie, has 24,000 followers and is filled with adorable videos of the little bulldog.
