A study published recently in Psychology Today claims that around half of the dog owners out there, share their bed with their canine companion.
Here are some of the top reasons our four-legged friends make great bed buddies...
They respect personal space
They're so loving
How could anyone not enjoy the feeling of a beloved pet snuggling up close. As pack animals, dogs love being close to their people.
They protect us
Contrary to what people may think, a dog choosing to sleep on the bed isn't just a "bad habit". Sharing space with humans is often a dog's way of showing their love for their home and their family.
They are too adorable to resist
They may be inconsiderate (and often a bit too hairy), but many owners couldn't imagine sleeping without their dog by their side.
