Question

Why does my dog like to sleep on me?

Answer 1

When a dog sleeps in this position, they are showing you affection and trust. According to Jen Jones, dogs may choose to sleep this way with one person in the home they feel safest with. This can include additional family members or other dogs and cats.

Answer 2

That is because it is in their nature to sleep in a pile on top of each other and it's when they feel most secure and comfortable - snuggled up against their littermates.

A recent survey found that as many as 50 percent of dog owners let their dogs sleep on the bed.
