Dogs run about 10 degrees hotter than humans, so do you think they regard us as the giant cold ones?

    The way my dog squeezes his body and face into my leg to fall asleep (wiener dog), I’d say no. Keep in mind, we’re still warmer than ambient temperature, so it’s not like we’re not pumping out heat.

      He’s probably thinking “human, you’re so cold, like death, gotta warm you up!

        I’m convinced this is why my cat lays on my feet, not that I’m complaining. Toasty kitty makes toasty toes.

      Our wiener dog does the same thing. She just aligns herself with the nook between my legs and torso when I’m on my side. For everyone who thinks a wiener dog couldn’t take up much space on a bed, you’re right technically, but if you try to create space she will take it back. Always end up on the edge.
