When your dog sleeps beside your bed every night, it's not just comfort, it's protection.

When your dog sleeps beside your bed every night, it's not just comfort, it's protection. Psychology says dogs sleep close to their humans to regulate their heartbeat. They match your breathing, your movements, and even your emotional state. When you sigh in your sleep, his ears twitch. When you turn, he adjusts not to move away, but to stay connected. Because in his heart, you're not just family, you're his entire world. Even when he dreams, his dreams are built around you. Your scent, your voice, your warmth. And when thunder rolls outside, he doesn't run to hide. He moves a little closer because in his mind, you're the safest place he knows. Even when you're deep in dreams, his brain stays half awake just to make sure the one he loves most is safe. That's why he sleeps facing the door. That's why he wakes up when you do. Because to him, home isn't a place.
