Dogs curl up in a ball when they sleep due to an age-old instinct to keep themselves warm and protect their abdomen and vital organs from predators.
‘It all started the day after we got her.
‘She was exploring the house and finding her feet and she jumped into the baby bouncer and got comfy and fell asleep.
‘Since then, she has been watching our daughter Elsie to see how she plays with her toys and then copies what she does.‘Elsie gets a little bit confused but does giggle occasionally at what the puppy is doing.
