If you’ve ever watched your dog spin in circles before settling down to sleep, it’s not just a cute habit — it’s an ancient instinct. In the wild, dogs’ ancestors would circle to flatten grass or leaves, create a comfortable spot, and check the area for any hidden dangers before lying down.
Even though most dogs now sleep on soft beds, this natural behavior has been passed down through generations. It’s one of the many ways their wild roots still show in everyday life.
