A Shih Tzu puppy with an unusual sleeping position has become a viral sensation in the Philippines.
The puppy called “Paningning” was captured in a series of adorable photos while she was sleeping on her back, just like a human would. 
Owner Janess Cua uploaded photos of Paningning with her fluffy belly exposed on the Facebook group, Dog Lovers Philippines last week.
In no time, the two images became widely shared on other social media platforms over the weekend.
As of this writing, the original post has so far accumulated over 39,000 reactions, 22,000 shares, and more than 1,400 comments.
Other photos of Paningning posted on Cua’s personal Facebook page are also getting more attention, as well as thousands of reactions.

“I’m amazed by those who created the artworks for Paningning,” Cua told Coconuts. “I’m also thankful because they love my pet.”
According to Cua, she did not expect that her Paningning’s images would go viral.
“I’m happy that they went viral but at the same time, I was shocked because I did not expect that to happen,” she was quoted as saying. “It’s really just my hobby to take photos of my pet dogs.”
