Unfortunately, the most common number is 4-6 million animals a year are euthanized in shelters a year, though other sources will tell you anywhere from 1-2 million, all the way to 12-25 million. This is just the number put down in shelters and doesn't include the millions that die of neglect, car accidents, etc. Quite depressing, isn't it?

All dogs can pretty much sleep anywhere. At a pet store you can buy a "dog pillow" that you can put just about anywhere. Whether the dog will sleep on it or not is a different story. Most dogs will sleep on the bed with you.
