Watch this adorable dog dig around in the covers looking for that perfect place to go to sleep.

Does your dog love to bury himself under your covers to sleep? Many dogs do. It is fun to think about why they might do this seemingly very human thing. If we consider the way a dog sees life, it is easy to imagine why he tucks himself in at night. Check out this video of a dachshund blanket burrowing. He sure seems to enjoy digging himself to a comfortable sleeping position.

The fact is, dog’s have an instinct to sleep or relax in a small and protected space to feel warm and safe. This explains why many dogs actually prefer their crates when left alone at home or to sleep in at night. Give your dog a comfy, sturdy bed with a couple of towels or small blankets to burrow in, and he will do what comes naturally.
