Nothing is sweeter than dogs sleeping in a bed. Just watching a sleepy dog snuggle up in a blanket is enough to make even the Grinchiest of human hearts grow three sizes. And when the snow is piling up outside, the inclination to hibernate with your sleepy pup until spring comes is only natural.
Out of all the creatures in the world, dogs might be the best at taking naps. Dogs can turn anything into a comfy spot to snooze—whether it’s a large dog sleeping in a small dog bed, a small dog sleeping in a big human bed, or a puppy falling over in a deep sleep in the middle of the kitchen floor. When dogs are sleepy, they’ll will plop right down and make those spots dog beds. It’s part of what makes them so adorable!
Grab a hot drink, curl up with a cozy blanket and take a look at 17 pictures of dogs sleeping and relaxing in bed. Enjoy!
