Did you know that your dog is a compass that can always find north? It is true! Dogs seem to know about the medical benefits of sleeping with their head facing north. Dogs have been doing the “circle three times to find north, then lay down” thing since before they became domesticated. They kept that instinct and still use it to this very day.

This goes for people and all animals, but dogs seem to be the only animals that visibly show itself finding north before it lays down to sleep.
