Julie Thornton Johnson and her husband, Jimmy, are used to sharing their bed with their three dogs, who love to cuddle at night. So, when they noticed a dog nestled next to them on a pillow, they thought nothing of it.
However, when they woke up in the morning, they realized they didn’t recognize the dog snuggled up beside them.
Instead of panicking, they found the situation amusing and wondered how the dog had managed to sneak inside without disturbing their other dogs.

When Jimmy woke up, he asked Julie who the dog in the bed was. It became clear to them that this pup was a stranger, yet she had made herself at home. The dog seemed friendly, so they decided to let her stay.
Julie snapped some photos of the unexpected guest and posted them online, hoping to get some answers. Meanwhile, she had a lot of questions running through her mind.

“How did the dog get in my house? And we have three dogs who bark at anything—a squirrel in the yard, a rabbit, a bird—they bark. But there was no noise,” Julie wondered.
The couple soon realized that they must have accidentally left the back door open. However, it remained a mystery how the dog wandered into their home and snuck into their bed without causing a stir.

Julie’s humorous post about the mystery dog quickly went viral. Cris Hawkins, who lived a few houses down, saw the post and recognized the dog as her own, named Nala. Hawkins believed that Nala had slipped out of her collar during the night and made her way to Julie’s home seeking attention.
