19. “I Don’t Need a Designer Bed. I Need Yours.”
You bought your dog a beautiful bed — soft, expensive, possibly memory foam. They sleep on your couch. Your bed. Your laundry pile. This is not stubbornness. It is chemistry.
Dogs choose places that smell like the people they love most. Your sofa, your bed, your worn t-shirt — these places hold the strongest concentration of your scent. The fancy bed smells like a factory. Your old hoodie smells like home. So if your dog ignores their bed and curls up on yours, that is them feeling loved. The next one might surprise you.
