Everyone needs different devices to fall asleep. Some children rely on nursery rhymes, some adults rely on a little booze. Even a dog relies on a stuffed animal from time to time.

In the video posted below, a dog, who appears to be a Shiba Inu, lies peacefully asleep. But while most dogs can normally sleep, this dog needs a little extra support. He sleeps right next to a stuffed animal, who appears to be his identical (stuffed) twin.

The two lay with their fluffy bellies up, putting them at heightened risk for pets and cuddles. But this pup doesn't care. He puts his sleep, and his comfort, above it all.
