Synchronized sleeping

One of the entertaining things about having dogs is watching them do all their behaviors. I especially like watching them sleep for some reason. They look so cute and innocent! I’ve noticed that they will frequently lay in almost identical positions (synchronized sleeping) or they will lay in a mirror image of each other (bookends). Is this something they plan on purpose?

I actually think dogs, as well as all animals, are much more in tune with each other than humans. I think they enjoy being together and being close and the way they sleep reflects that. They just naturally mimic each other because it makes them feel like family or companions.
