Dogs generally want to sleep next to their owners. In fact, according to some research, dogs would rather sleep with their owners than with other people or animals.

Dogs prefer to sleep alongside their owners for a variety of reasons. Some argue that it's because being close to their owner gives them a sense of security and comfort.

Other causes include the affection and companionship that are frequently shown during sleep. Whatever the reason, it appears that dogs like to sleep close to the people they care about!

Even when there is plenty of room elsewhere in the room, many dogs will frequently opt to lie close to their owners. Of course, there are situations in which dogs may not want to sleep in the same bed as their owners.

There are many reasons for this, ranging from discomfort to feeling neglected. It's crucial to keep in mind that every dog is unique, so what works for one might not work for another.

The redditor in today’s AITA story is one who loves his dog to bits, and his 4-year-old Springer Spaniel mix with a corgi dog lies next to him every night. The OP’s girlfriend doesn’t like this act and spoke up about it, but the OP doesn’t have any plans to stop his beloved dog from lying next to him.

This Redditor has refused to stop letting his dog lay with him

The OP's 4 year old Springer Spaniel mix with corgi dog lays right next to him each night

I'm fine with it but she thinks it's disgusting and refuses to sleep at my apartment

And the comments from other Redditors roll in...

When you get the right woman, then...

You two are not meant for each other

She doesn't want to sleep in bed with a dog

You had the dog before her so...

This Redditor understands how that can bother a partner

It's up to you to decide your priorities

You can balance the pros and cons of this situation

It seems the OP needs a new GF

Why you might be dating the wrong partner

She's been on my side at all times and loves me unconditionally

Hopefully, you'll be blessed with years to come

Someone made me choose between them and my dog

You love your dog more than you love your GF

Putting your dog before your partner is crazy

Either break up with her or tell you love the dog more

She's not wrong for setting a boundary here

You have to know that it might cost you your relationship

You have different views on animal ownership

That will always be a point of contention

Maybe you both are just not compatible

So, this is a strange story, isn't it? Since ancient times, dogs have been known to sleep with humans.

Dogs appear to enjoy being close to their human companions, whether it's to stay warm or because they are devoted friends. Do you think the OP is overdoing things or do you have a different opinion?
