There must be a reason why dog’s are known as man’s best friends. Since domestication, dogs have become affectionate and compassionate friends of man. A dog owner will know that the pet will always be there…always ready to be of help to the human friends. Dogs are one of the most loved pets and dog owners make sure that the pet is not only provided with enough food but also with all the things that will make its life comfortable. Whatever care and affection a dog owner gives to the pet will be doubly reciprocated.

Time and again dogs would prove their affection and loyalty to the human friends. These animals are ready to deal with any discomfort just to be with their masters. Take for instance the dog’s tendency to sleep at the master’s feet. Dogs have a reputation of being good sleepers. If given a chance, dogs will sleep the day away. People that love to sleep would invest on big, soft and comfortable beds. Dogs would not really mind where they sleep. Dogs would ignore their comfortable beds if your feet is available to lie and to sleep on if it means being close to their favorite friends.

Dogs would constantly want to be with their human friends as apart from being affectionate, these pets form strong bonds with their owners. It is somehow fitting to give dogs the name Velcro pets given their inclination to stick close to their masters. Dogs would stand close to the master or even lean on the master’s leg and if there is a chance the dog would quietly sidle to sit on the master’s lap.

The master’s feet would not be a very comfortable place to sleep on. A dog though would be ready to have cricks in the neck as long as it can get close to the master. Dogs are protective and the habit is believed to be the dog’s way protecting the master. This habit can be the dogs way of recognizing the master as the leader of the pack. Dogs need to have well defined hierarchy. A dog that sleeps at the feet of the master is recognizing the leader of the pack.

Discounting the discomfort the dog owner will feel, this habit is not really dangerous for both the master and the pet. Dog owners love the pet thus it will be allowed to sleep undisturbed but what if the pet is a giant breed, which one would you choose – a sleeping dog or a sleeping and cramping feet?
