The secret of dog sleeping position revealed, it turns out your furry child loves you so much
Anyone who has a dog at home will find that the dog’s sleeping posture is always so weird. Sometimes it sleeps on its stomach, sometimes it sleeps curled up in a ball, and sometimes it sleeps with its legs in the air. There are all kinds of weird shapes. Sometimes I even wonder if they are not tired from sleeping like this?
Let’s take a look at the weird sleeping postures of these furry children!
(My body is almost twisted into a knot. I don’t know where I learned it. Are you sure you can sleep like this?)
(This sleeping position, how do you feel about it? Half asleep, and then "flowed" off the sofa, this dog is 80% made of liquid)
(Compared to the first two, this is relatively easy, but why does this dog put it when sleeping? Little paws raised so high? )
(Other dogs use their front legs to cover their faces. Why does it use its hind legs? Is it doing some kind of performance art?)
(Hey, head How come you still have your head covered after sleeping? I’m afraid sleeping like this will scare the shit-sweeper)
Have you ever been shocked by the weird sleeping positions of these dogs? Is there any "royal" sleeping position for your furry child? Ahem, but are you curious about the specific meanings behind these sleeping positions of dogs?
Let’s get into the popular science time:
1. Lying on the side
A dog lying on its side means that it feels safe and comfortable in the environment, because such a sleeping position will expose its important organs. In addition, this position also allows their limbs to move freely during sleep, so you will see them twitching and kicking more. Generally, dogs who like this posture will be very easy to get along with.
2. Curl up
The most common position for dogs to sleep is to curl up into a ball, head to tail. This is also a common sleeping position for animals in the wild, because it protects important organs, helps keep warm, and allows them to stand up quickly, giving them a sense of security. Part of the reason for dogs sleeping in this position is that they don’t trust the surrounding environment, but it may also be because the weather is cold, and the dog owner should remember to keep it warm.
3. Lying on the ground
This sleeping position allows the dog to stand up immediately. Generally, dogs sleep in this position, indicating that they do not want to miss any opportunities for activities. We can also understand that the dog is tired from playing and wants to take a nap. When the owner takes out the toy again, the dog will wake up immediately when it hears the sound and engage in a new round of play.
4. Four feet in the air
Four feet in the air. This sleeping position with the belly exposed helps the dog cool down. Since the fur around the belly is thinner and there are sweat glands on the paws, exposing these areas is a great way to beat the heat. In addition, it also shows that the dog feels very trustful and secure in its surroundings, because this sleeping position not only exposes their most vulnerable parts, but also makes it difficult for them to stand up quickly.
5. Like to sleep at the owner's feet
Some dogs are very clingy and like to follow their owners wherever they go. They must usually move around the owner, and if the owner sits or doesn't move, they will sleep at the owner's feet. This is actually a way for dogs to seek a sense of security, and owners need to give them more care.
6. Like to sleep with their buttocks facing people’s heads
When their owners and dogs lie on the same bed, many dogs like to face their owners with their buttocks, leaving only their owners’ backs and their faces facing outside. This kind of behavior shows that the dog thinks that places where the owner is present are relatively safe, and has great trust in the owner. Even in places where it cannot see, the owner will protect itself.
7. Like to sleep under the table or in a small space
Dogs like to sleep under the table because in the eyes of dogs, our houses are too high, and the space above is too large, which will make them feel insecure. For dogs, the height of the table is just right for them, and they will feel more secure sleeping under it.
8. Like to sleep with something on your back
Dogs will feel fearful, uneasy, and uneasy about places that they cannot see. Therefore, some dogs who are relatively insecure like to sleep with their backs against a wall or something else, which makes it easier for them to react quickly when they encounter danger.
Different sleeping postures reflect the different moods and states of your dog. Generally speaking, the more "unscrupulous" it appears, the more it shows its trust in you. So, to a certain extent, if your furry child sleeps relatively "poorly", you should be considered a relatively successful poop scooper! Finally, I want to ask, how do your dogs sleep?
