Sleeping comfortably is something that dogs make easy. They just seem to be able to relax and take a nap anywhere! From squeezing into positions that would make a yoga master jealous to ones that make you laugh, dogs are the best at napping in unusual positions.
We asked our members to submit photos of their dogs relaxing in awkward positions and here are the results.
