A surprising new study found that people who sleep near their dogs don’t experience disrupted sleep. If anything, the University of Toronto researchers discovered, we humans are the ones disturbing our dogs’ sleep.

And we feel safer sleeping with our dogs, hinting at “a deeper evolutionary history” between humans and dogs, said study co-author Ming Fei Li, who was a graduate student of evolutionary anthropology during the research.

    Cats aren’t that crazy…. I mean, mine is, she protects the bathroom when I’m going #2 and swats at my dog if she wants to sniff the bathroom. Both are bonded to each other and me, but my cat is an asshole and my pittbull is the nicest soul to have existed on earth.
