Anyone who’s had a late night can empathise with the exhausted pooches captured in these adorable snaps.
Shared by pet owners on social media, the photos show dogs that were so tired they collapsed into sleep in an array of unlikely – not to mention uncomfortable – positions.
One photo shows a tiny dog that curled up in its own food bowl to doze off after a meal, while another is of a dog quite literally flat out on a hallway floor.
Others capture pets who prefer to sleep with a companion – be that another dog, a chew toy, or in one case, a snoozing baby.
