He might be scared, or maybe loves you. Dogs love to sleep next to their masters, if not scared, to protect. He obviosly loves you!

Love is the battery of life....

Hi,


That's the dog's nature: to sleep next to the leader (/ the dominant).  Besides it can be a warm / soft / nice place and you probably pat him..... a good spot.   However it's easy to teach him where his real place is (if you want it).
Best regards,

Dogs are pack animals and YOU are part of the pack. They are also social and want to be next to the one they are fond of.

even though the sun is so powerful there is always half of the earth that is not lit up.

he/she sleeps so close b/c he wants to feel close to you and also might be cold so he/she wants to warm up.

Dogs are creatures who love warmth and being close to the one's around them. Your dog is looking for close companionship and love. If this bothers you, you can easily train him to sleep in a certain place which you designate for him. If you like your dog sleeping so close simply enjoy man's best friend.

He feels secure being so close to you and it makes him happy.  When he was a puppy, all the other pups were close.

You are the pack leader and he loves you. My 90lb. lab sits on my lap like he's a small dog. Dogs as a rule like to be close to those they love. Enjoy the love.
