Loving to Sleep Beside You
Do you feel a special connection when your dog chooses to curl up and sleep beside you? Dogs are pack animals by nature, with an instinct to sleep alongside their group. Nighttime sleep is ingrained in their genetics as a vulnerable time. When they choose to stay close to you or share your bed at night, it signifies their complete trust and love for you, seeing you as a member of their ‘family.’
According to a survey by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, 46% of American adults share their bed with a pet. Surprising, isn’t it?
So, the next time your dog comes to snuggle up with you for sleep, don’t push them away. Instead, welcome them and cherish this special love and connection, as it’s not just about affection, but also a very special form of trust.
