It's called "caching" (cashing). Foxes do it when they see a good opportunity to catch a meal, but they aren't hungry at the time, so they save it for later by burying the food underground so that other animals won't get it. Dogs don't have dirt to bury it under when inside the house, so they use blankets, rugs, toys, and anything else that is movable to cover it up.

They also may not be hungry and want to save it for later but make sure no other dogs or anyone will take them.
