Why does my dog like to sleep DIRECTLY beneath me?

[aphex]

He puts himself in a position where I almost always step right on him.

Death wish or just true love?

The true question is why do you like to sleep on top?

 

[Schfifty Five]

All dogs do that.

Dogs like contact so usually sleep around your feet to know you are there, kind of like security blanket to them.

I don't think it's so much a security blanket, but rather that dogs are pack animals by nature. Aphex is his dog's pack, and so they naturally want to sleep near, around, ontop, below what ever their pack.

Man's best friend, also the dog might feel the need to protect you.
