Dead Dog Pose
Cute and funny pictures of people’s dogs in the ‘dead bug’ pose have flooded the internet. You know, when your dog resembles a dead bug with its limbs protruding into the air. Unlike a dead bug, however, your dog’s face is likely to be relaxed, almost with a content little smirk.

This is because a dog lying in this position indicates that it is submissive and vulnerable, and that it is at ease in its surroundings. Because not all dogs can sleep like this, it usually means they have a more laid-back and independent personality.
Sleeping on Their Side
When taking a nap, many dogs sleep on their sides, but they rarely do so for long periods of time, certainly not for an entire night’s sleep. This is because lying on their side means it will take them longer to stand up and get into a defensive position in the event of an unexpected threat.

So, if your dog sleeps or naps like this, it most likely means he or she is a very happy and carefree dog who has complete trust in his or her ‘pack.’
