Edna has been a regular at doggie daycare for as long as she can remember, and she's got a very ‘unique' routine.
She starts off her day running around and playing for a couple of hours. Then, when her energy’s all spent, little Edna moves on to secure a comfy spot for her to rest.
But with so many other dogs around, finding the comfiest napping spot always proves to be a challenge, so Edna quickly came up with her own solution.
As soon as she decides it’s nap time, she finds the hairiest, softest dog in the nursery, befriends them, then uses them as her own personal pillow.

Her technique never seems to fail her — but if you’re as brave and fearless as Edna is, there’s no mountain too high.

Edna does not discriminate either, so whether the dog is big or small, she still naps on them, and most of them don’t seem to mind at all.

In an interview with The Dodo, Brianna Gottfried, Edna’s mom said,
“All the dogs seem to enjoy the snuggling company,” “Even the tiny wiener dogs.”

Naturally, when Edna was still a small puppy, it was much easier for her to nap on other dogs. But even now that she’s gotten bigger, Edna refuses to stop doing it.
She just loves a snuggle too much, and daycare is her perfect opportunity to do it as much as she likes.

When it’s finally time to go at the end of the day, Edna is usually still fast asleep on one of her friends, and it takes some effort to wake her up and get her home again.
“When it’s time to go home I always have to peel her off of another dog,” Gottfried said.

Edna absolutely loves to play, but when she’s spent and can’t do that anymore she loves to nap — and all of her daycare buddies are more than happy to help her do just that.

10 of the Smartest Dogs in the World:
A friend of mine has a beautiful Dalmatian. Friendly, energetic and lovable, she was a perfect family pet… but she wasn’t the smartest pooch on the planet. See, she knew how to go through the pet door out into the garden, but she had no clue how to get back inside. It never occurred to her that the flap could swing both ways. So she would sit outside and howl until my friend would open the door.
Repeated demonstrations of the dual movement of the flap had no effect; it just did not compute. The dog breeds on this list, however, probably don’t have that problem. They’re widely considered to be among the cleverest canines in the world. Take a look and see if you agree.
1. German Shepherd

No surprise here. German Shepherds are the world’s best police dogs, military dogs, and some have even been movie stars (remember Rin Tin Tin?). Brave, loyal, smart and strong, they’re the total package.
2. Beagle
Also on the list of the best family-friendly dogs in the world, the Beagle has an incredible nose that lets them sniff out just about anything. Born detectives, they’re not the most trainable pets, but they are smart. And hey, nobody ever accused Snoopy of being dumb.
3. Golden Retriever
A popular choice for assistance dogs for their easy temperament, natural intelligence and loyalty, Golden Retrievers are natural guides and also serve as great rescue dogs. Active and fun to be around, they’re wonderful family pets.
4. Border Collie

Border Collies are considered by many to be the geniuses of the dog world. Expert herders, laser-focused (they’re known for their intense stare), and incredibly agile to boot, they’re workaholics and excellent athletes. Just don’t expect to keep one cooped up in an apartment.
5. Poodle
Did you know poodles were originally hunting dogs? They respond very well to training and are quick to learn tricks. So don’t let the fluffy looks and styled mane fool you! These dogs are among the smart canines around. Plus, they’re among the best dogs in the world for those who suffer allergies.
6. Belgian Malinois
A terrific military dog, the Malinois is a natural herder, tracker and worker. Smart, trainable and protective, these dogs require an owner who knows what he or she is doing. In addition to the military, Malinois are often recruited as guard dogs and police dogs as well.
7. Papillon

Named for their butterfly-shaped ears, papillons are small, cute and pretty smart. They’re considered the smartest of the toy dog breed, with intelligence levels comparable to the über-smart border collie. They’re alert and focused pets, and loyal and lovable: an ideal friend for he family.
8. Doberman
Sadly, Dobermans are known more for their ferocity than their smarts, but these are considered among the most intelligent dogs in the world, as well as one of the most effective guard dogs around. They’re outstanding students known to be affectionate and obedient.
9. Bloodhound

Don’t let the wrinkles and dopey expression fool you! Bloodhounds have the keenest of noses, and are often used for trailing (so much so that their evidence can be used in court against you!). These are loving but strong-willed dogs, and are often used on search and rescue missions.
10. Australian Cattle Dog
Wikimedia Commons
You need a smart, determined and energetic dog to control unruly cows. And that’s just what the Australian Cattle Dog, or ACD, does. They’re intelligent enough to herd these much larger creatures, and while they need their independence and wide open spaces, they’re eager workers who know how to get the job done.
