It is known that a dog does not just choose the first place it comes across to sleep: a potential resting place goes through a special "casting".

Therefore, many will be curious to know what the animal is guided by when making its choice.

Why do animals like to sleep in unusual and even strange places?

Experts immediately point out that these places are unexpected only for us, but the dog has its own opinion on this matter.

At their summer cottages, many people notice that a dog can dig a real "dugout" and happily rest in it. This only happens because the animal is hot. The soil is not only cool, but also helps to settle down comfortably.

Some owners are upset that the dog ignores the purchased bed, preferring the floor. However, the surface can be more convenient in some cases. For example, the dog decided to cool off again, and it will be much easier to do this on the floor.

If the animal is located next to the owners' bed, it means strong affection and love. The dog shows that he is simply happy to be near his loved ones.

If this is not enough for the dog, it will even try to climb into bed. This means that the pet considers itself a full-fledged member of the pack, who is trying to fall asleep next to the leader.
