If you have dogs yourself, you'd know that dogs, like people, can have their own unique behaviors and preferences when it comes to sleeping arrangements. Some dogs might prefer sleeping in their owner's bed, on the couch, or even in a specific spot in the house.

TikToker Peta knows all too well how her American pocket bully named Koda behaves when it's bedtime, and it's hilarious, as you can see in this video, posted on September 22.

She thought nobody would spot her in between all those pillows.

It must be a bully thing, as my pit bull does the same, except he doesn't blend in with the pillows on my bed.

Just kidding.

Being close to the owner, whether that's the bed or sofa, is a behavior that can be seen in many dogs, not just American pocket bullies.

Dogs often exhibit this behavior for a variety of reasons, and it's usually a mix of instinctual behavior and personal preferences, but it's especially common for rescue dogs who experienced severe trauma and suffer from separation anxiety.

Koda just wants to be close to her mom and dad.

That's my dog every night. He prefers my bed over his, and honestly, we both sleep better as he is less likely to move and to wake me up at night compared to sleeping on his bed, which would make annoying sounds whenever he rolls around on it.

Dogs know where it feels more comfortable, as they are sensitive to temperature, and if their bed is too hot or cold, they may seek a more comfortable place to sleep.

This makes sense.

Some dogs may also choose to sleep elsewhere if they get startled by loud noises, strangers, or other factors, which can make your dog feel anxious in its own bed.

However, speaking out of experience, if your dog has gotten used to sleeping in certain places, it can be challenging to change its habits. As you can see, Koda is hard to move off the bed.
