An amusing video has emerged from Canada of a pug trying his very best not to fall asleep.

The footage, which was captured by Montreal resident David Freiheit earlier this month, shows his elderly pug ‘Baboo’ trying to stay awake despite an uncontrollable urge to sleep.

"We adopted him late in his life. My family immediately fell in love with Baboo, and he fell in love with our family. He is the best dog in the world, and although he looks like a grumpy old man, he loves the attention" David later wrote online.
