Why does my puppy sleep under the bed? Is it for comfort or security?

Question

Why does my puppy like sleeping under neath my bed? I only recently moved my room around but I got him a big bed to share with his brother and he slept in that for few weeks now all of a sudden he is sleeping underneath my bed at the corner but half his body is outside and half inside ?? He's quite big he's nearly 7 months old but he is quite big and he would have to pull himself under there ??!! Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 6 months and 29 days old

Silly Yogi! :) This is actually very common - many puppies and also adult dogs like to sleep under things, as it makes them feel more secure. One of my dogs actually likes to sleep with his head under the couch and his body sticking out; he's 9 years old now, and has always done this. As long as Yogi is acting normal otherwise, this shouldn't be any cause for concern.
