A tricolor Bernese Mountain Dog rests his chin on a green plaid quilt beside a small brown rabbit tucked into the folds. 23 / 35

The Alarm Never Rang for These Two. They Stayed Under the Quilt.

Morning has arrived, but nobody under the quilt is ready for it. A tricolor Bernese Mountain Dog rests his chin on the soft plaid fabric with his warm brown eyes just beginning to open, his white blaze and rusty eyebrows making a perfect sleepy face. Snug in a fold beside him sits Clover, the small brown rabbit, her paws tucked beneath her. Golden light pushes through the curtains, and a basket of toys waits across the room.

Bernese Mountain Dogs come from the Swiss Alps, where they worked on farms pulling carts and guarding livestock. They are known as sweet, affectionate and devoted to family, and many enjoy being close to their people. Their thick coats keep them warm but shed heavily, and they often prefer cool spots, so a quilt is a choice rather than a need. Berners are large dogs that can be clumsy, so supervise any cuddling with a small pet. A rabbit sharing a bed needs room to escape, and fabric should be checked for loose threads. Your vet can help you plan for a happy, healthy household.

The mood is slow and warm, with that peaceful feeling of a weekend morning when the alarm has not yet won. The dog blinks, Clover wiggles her nose, and the quilt rises and falls with their breathing. For now, the day can wait. There is breakfast to think about eventually, but this pair has agreed to put it off a little longer.
