When you're trying to drift off to sleep, there's nothing more annoying than having to listen to your dog lick their paws for hours on end.
Dog owners who share their bedroom with their pets will know how irritating it can be to be woken up by your dog aggressively licking their front and back paws.
But according to the Kennel Club, they're likely only doing it to help themselves relax or relieve boredom - as they wait for you to wake up for the day.
