Without knowing any history to the picture, I didn't think of it as a sad picture, just as a dog sleeping on his favorite toy, or his master's toy because it smelled like his favorite person. We had a blonde cocker that would sleep with his head in my DH's shoes when he was a puppy. He didn't chew them, my sister who was much more dog savvy than I said he was just looking for a familiar smell to fall asleep like he did when with his mom, brothers and sisters. As our dog got older if my DH put his feet on the floor eventually Cuddles would lay his head on his foot. (They were the only 2 makes in the house, must have thought they needed to stick together, because Cuddles loved everybody.)
