Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! That is adorable! I think it is natural for a dog to want to lay next to and touch a member of his pack when asleep. So I think it means he is bonded to you and wants to be near you when asleep which is when an animal is most vulnerable. Safety in numbers. But overall I think it means that he loves you! Have a great day!
