Instead of playing endless games of catch or chasing their tails, the dozing dogs want nothing more than to grab a few moments of paws.
Many of the photos capture the hounds in humorous positions in their endeavour to get some sleep.
Included in the collection are a German Shepherd caught snoozing in an awkward position in a car.
