28 Dogs In Hilariously Awkward Sleeping Positions That’ll Make You Laugh Out Loud

joannashepherd | November 24, 2024 7:00 am

Dogs are some of the best creatures on the planet; that's a fact. These lovable fur babies are full of energy, loyalty, and joy, but they're also absolute goofs. From running in circles to struggling to carry sticks through gates, dogs know how to bring the humor even if they don't realize that they're doing it.

After a long day of chasing squirrels, smelling butts, and terrorizing the house cat, dogs get very sleepy. Luckily, their sleeping positions can be equally as hilarious as their conscious undertakings.
