Optimistic lab tries his best to fit into tiny dog bed

Here's another example of a dog's behaviour being the perfect metaphor for your life.

This time, it comes in the form of a labrador trying to get climb into a tiny dog bed.

The poor thing was left with the mini sleeping cushion while his little jerk of a mate hogged the bigger bed.

And, bless his soul, he tried his best to make it work.

Video of his struggle is so good that it really can apply to all your pathetic situations.

Broadly, it's an analogy for you doing your best to succeed in a hopeless situation.

Perhaps that tiny bed is representative of restrictive and conflicting societal norms and your inability to fit inside them - you're never going to fit in but still you try.

Or maybe the dog's struggle is a visual representation of you trying to pull on a pair of jeans you know damn well are too small for you.

And maybe this, right here, is you as you finally acknowledge the futility of your efforts:

Poor fella, he did his best with a physically impossible situation.

You have to give him points for trying.
