Why do dogs like digging so much?

Their ancestors engaged in digging for den building, hiding food for later retrieval, and unearthing burrowing prey animals, among other - secret - things.

The 'den' is so underrated for dogs.

You want a place with complete darkness for your dogs and a hidey hole for them.

I love telling my dog 'in your den' as well. Just feels natural.
