[@itzSiberia]

I still don't have a dog but my cousin's dog sleeps like "the zombie"

[@myrnasharif499]

My Lab/Weiner/Pit Bull mix sleeps head to tail normally. She truly is the guardian of the house. Sweet as can be to her family but outsiders seem to be terrified of her. My Jack Russel/Bird Dog mix burrows under covers. He's also extra needy. The people he came from were drug addicts and due to details I won't go into here he's lucky to be alive. First night here he crawled under the covers with me and slept all night AFTER he got a bath because he stunk bad. Spine was sticking out of his back too but he's a solid chunk of spoiled rotten muscle now.

My dog is a real talker in his sleep... I don't know if he was ever in a deep sleep without whimpering or growling ridiculously through his closed, sleeping lips lol. I love him so much

[@tracystruths1762]

My dog sleeps in the majority of the positions depending on if its day or night and if she is upstairs on carpet, in her bed, my bed or downstairs on the hardwood floors. Thanks for sharing

[@PimpDaddyDisco]

Pitties are the best cuddlers. Prove me wrong

[@cathylarkins9949]

You are right…my Pittie I had for 14 years…she was my baby

[@robennapearson2330]

My dog loves all positions

[@xeno4746]

When my dog ​​has just been groomed or it is cold, he sleeps curled up and against my stomach or in the back of my knee. If he is warm, he lies stretched out on his back with his legs out in all directions.

[@tottenham1999]

I absolutely love your videos. I feel like I know my pooch sooo much better

[@LDT751]

God bless everyone and have a nice day and Jesus Christ loves you all and I do too bye.

[@dianaabrahamian1713]

Thank you 🙏

[@runedahl1477]

I also have a dog that sleeps in all of those positions and in various places in my house.

[@Whitewolf1827]

My last dogs favorite way of sleeping was under my covers cuddling with me with his head out beside mine on his side

[@brendabusch4166]

My chichiua sleeps in my bed under the cover and hugs my leg when hes sleeping i love him and he loves his Mama

[@beckyf2845]

My dog refuses to lie on a cold floor even when it's warm. Unless it's outside in the garden. I love the way dogs have their quirks 😅

[@mikerodrick2430]

I'd rather know what human sleeping positions mean. I normally circle the bed 3 times before lying in it. After that, I have no clue.

[@daggerdiaz1433]

My dog sleeps in all those positions, I agree with what the last comment from that person said

[@AceSeptre]

I used to have a Lab that would move her legs like she was full on sprinting when she was sleeping. Dreaming about chasing Pheasant was my best guess.

[@DogsareLegend]

There is nothing better than when my dog sleeps on the cold feet in winter.

[@TheIronDuke9]

If your dog looks too hot get a cool towel? What is a cool towel? A towel that has been in the fridge? Won't putting a towel, cool or not, over the dog make it warmer by trapping in heat? The hard ground is effective because it draws the heat out of the animal but an insulating piece of material on top would have the opposite effect even if it was "cool"

[@jaredking380]

my girl likes back to back but head to toe .... she likes to sleep so we are looking out for each other..... she is a 55kg 10month old neapolitan mastiff .... she is a big cute droop

[@electralangley1105]

Mine does pretty much all of these!

[@rgfs71]

You missed one: “Shrimping”. Our Potcake will often sleep on her side with her hind end folded forward such that her belly is against her rib cage and her legs fully extended past her head. She literally looks like a shrimp (or lobster, but lobstering doesn’t roll of the tongue as nicely) with its tail tucked up. It’s apparently common among Potcakes but I’m curious if other breeds do this.

[@chowfun1976]

2:52 did she really think the dog was dead? Lol 😂

[@lilpotatosack7740]

4:36 nice editing bro.(this is a joke btw. we're getting labs soon so keep making videos.

[@ginal.f.3462]

I have a female dog that I took in from off of the streets 3 years ago. She usually sleeps laying on her back with her two front paws up in the air slightly in front of her face. It looks like she's praying. Till this day she is the first of my 2 other dogs to run to the door barking before I get the door open when I come home from work. She's a little mischief but sweet and playful. And she reminds me so much of my Claudia that passed away 6 months before I found her and rescued her from the streets. I guess she's thinking me from saving her from a bad lonely life on the streets. I'm guessing this is why she follows me around the house and stays laying beside me everywhere. My neighbor's son named her for me. And I could've picked a more suiting one for her. He named her "Sweety"

[@thenaturekid3739]

I call the lion pose the snuggle muzzle.

[@selestewithans]

My puppy labradoodle does all of these ❤️❤️

[@Offwiththefaries]

Sometimes my dog yelp/barks in his sleep but it legitimately sounds like he's having a nightmare/in distress so I wake him up usually. 😬

[@erics3886]

Haha this comment made me think of the scene in step brother's when he wakes them up while sleep walking.

[@mirndacoe5904]

Have a chihuahua and he likes to be under the covers but sometimes not and usually sleeps on his back

[@mainemusso44]

My dogs are the floor sleepers, clothe sleepers, and back to back sleepers. My baby girl (1 year old maltese) curls right up under the creases of the back of my legs and it puts me to sleep and milo our other dog comes and curls by my head

[@Meggie2013]

Same

[@davidedwards3361]

The Zombie position, that is just about normal for a greyhound. My first grey was too deep chested and narrow across the back to be able to adopt the position, although he tried. My new girls is wider across the back and not so deep, and she sleeps in that position a lot. Greyhounds are wonderful dogs, but they are not like other dogs!

[@debbiebrysonwilson226]

When Mojis asleep on my Feet but especially when he's spalled out like pancake

[@joaoconterraneo3640]

Boa Noite vídeo perfeito

[@colleenwinter7796]

I liked all the terrier’s u had and at the moment my dog is doing the pancake

[@severussnape9873]

Have you heard abot dreaming? In fact when somebody has a dream they are no zombie!

[@stephybobo1991]

My puppy sleeps on my clothes 🥺

[@mikerodrick2430]

[@kathleenmacmaster8882]

I think the burrow is the cutest

[@deanmaximus9770]

In a ball can mean there cold too. Maybe throw on a blanket.

[@riey4726]

My dog literally always sleeps and at night she sleeps really close to me sometimes and other times she’s in a ball

[@Theeonlyy_Em]

[@deborahchesser7375]

Mine does the dead bug lol.

[@angelameek1329]

[@beckyf2845]

[@beckyrussell251]

My dog sleeps in different ways mainly on his siden

[@davidleblanc9676]

Sometimes I think my female pity got that sleeping disorder she can not only sleep on anything she sleeps sitting down lol

[@Pnutz815]

@2:29 instead of the zombie i prefer to call this the “PECHITOS EXPOSED” or “BELLY & PECHITOS EXPOSED” pose, a fuLL surrender & most vulnerable of sleeping positions only achieved in an environment of pure love & trust between pet & owners ❤

[@jessieleech9805]

My pet Desiree Josie sleep right up against she will put her paw into my hand and falls asleep that way

[@amyrosw1046]

[@Alkmaar89]

Why do you think there is a reason for everything...

[@Tammy-kl3vt]

[@raeannebaughman5647]

One dog thinks it's a cat the other won't tellerate you sleeping alone

[@michelleross8881]

BaBee sleeps with her eyes open

[@scarletcobb5937]

My girl loves to sleep in the bed with me an she always wants to be under the cover with me

[@jollyp1605]

This is all bullshit. Since when did this commentator get into a dogs mind. My dog sleeps in most of these positions.

[@rachburn2219]

Um, hmm, nah , I do believe this is absolute nonsense.
