It may be that it is playing with it. If you dog is a puppy this is most likely to happen. Otherwise the best way to stop them from doing it (if you want them to) is to use positive reinforcement (catch them in the act, tell them no or get them to stop attacking it. After a few seconds of good non attacking behavior, reward them with a treat.)

My dog doesnt hold a blanket in her mouth but instead she sucks on it. My dog didnt have a good life when she was a puppy, so we think it reminds her of her mommy. Your dog might do it because of that or because shes excited.

The dog is trying to show dominance. If there is no one around that the dog can dominate, an inanimate object will suffice.

If you want to eliminate such an unwanted behavior you need to start by establishing a daily routine where all of your dog needs will be satisfied and he will get plenty of exercise.

A satisfied dog will show less dominate behavior.

Dogs like blankets because it gives them comfort. They also like it to keep them warm, if its cold.

It's a comfort issue. They tend to clamp down with their jaws and knead the blanket until they fall asleep.
