Dogs are the most faithful companions mankind has ever known.  Their love is unconditional and they bring joy into our lives.  Many people go to bed at night with their canine companions taking up a large portion of the bed, and this is perfectly acceptable to all parties involved.  However, as dogs get older, the leap onto the bed gets more difficult.  Some people get small steps for the dog to climb up to get on the bed.  Other people spring for an over-sized orthopedic dog bed for their furry four-legged friend.  Orthopedic dog beds can offer support and comfort for an aging dog.  They still have the luxury of sleeping on a bed, but they don’t have to jump, and they don’t have to share it with anyone.
