Unravel the Deeper Meaning of Your Dog's Behavior

20. Why Your Dog Lays on Your Feet

Dogs have a special affinity for lying right on their owners' feet, be it during dinner time or while watching TV on the couch. This endearing behavior demonstrates their loyalty and desire to protect you. They want to be as close to you as possible.

This behavior can be traced back to their ancestral roots. Dogs have a natural inclination to sleep close to their pack members. If you provide them with good care and establish trust, they consider you part of their family and view you as their pack leader.
