Is Your Dog Sleeping on Your Feet? This Gesture Hides a Deep Message

Dogs are a type of sacred spirit that often speak volumes without uttering a word. Again, one of the most frequent behaviors we may observe as a dog owner is when our dog goes to sleep on top of our feet. The action is seemingly mundane, but it can mask a deeper meaning about how your dog views you.

Comfort and Security

Just like when your dog lays on the ground by or under you, they are assuming a submissive posture to make both of them and you feel safe. Our dogs are pack animals and they want to be near you.
