Most dogs just want to cuddle with their packs when they sleep. Mine is always touching me when I sleep – generally once I am asleep, she moves down to my feet and I often wake up with her head over my ankle. That used to wake me up often when I had a broken ankle. My theory is I want to know where my dog is at night just in case there is a need to go outside, but during the 5 years I have had this dog, she never has awakened me to go outside.
