Our dogs teach us a ton, and one of the lessons we could all learn a bit better is how to sleep hard. Dogs and puppies know how to sleep. Their little paws twitching in dreamland, those soft, rhythmic breaths, and the pure innocence on their faces — it's a scene straight out of a storybook. As we get closer to the New Year, these sleeping pups are a great reminder that we have to hit that snooze button from time to time. 

Bonding in Comfort

This pup didn’t quite make it all the way to the bed. But when that off button switches, it’s time to shut down.

Soak Up The Love

Even when your dogs are sleepy, they’ll still wag their tails at a chance to get some love.

Tummy Up

A tummy exposed means the doggy knows they can trust you with their life. Their vital organs are all in there, and they’re exposing themselves to serious danger, at least according to their instincts.

Off to Dreamland
