7. Marking territory
Everybody knows how dogs mark their territory. This is because a dog's reality is mostly scent, followed by sounds. Making a space smell like themselves is the dog version of scrawling NO TRESPASSERS! on a wall. Ironically, your dog could be "claiming" your bed for itself or on your behalf. The former is more likely if there are dominance issues, while the latter might happen if a strange dog has been in your house lately.
