Why Does My Dog Sleep On Me and Not My Husband?
Dogs are pack animals. They have a natural instinct to group into families, so when you are a family unit, it’s no surprise that they will do as many things with you as possible.
Why it chooses you over your partner may have a lot to do with your individual relationship with the pooch. So let’s look into the context of why your partner might be the mattress of choice.

Temporary Love

Awkward Odors
