Most dogs love to keep the things they like in a safe place. His bed is his domain and there is nowhere safer than that. If your dog is not in the mood to play with his toy at any given moment, he may well decide to take it to his bed and hide it from view until he wants it again. Similar in a way to how he might bury a bone or a wild dog would conceal any leftover prey from other animals on the prowl, your pup has done the same with his toy. It has been removed from sight and is out of harm’s way.
If you have discovered a mountain of toys in your dog’s bed, you may well want to consider your dog has a hoarding problem. A bit like humans, in the days when supermarkets didn’t exist, we would fill our larder shelves with all sorts of home preserved goodies ready for the winter months when there was nothing easily at hand. Your dog’s natural instincts for survival and the replacement, in his mind’s eye, of toys for prey, could well be his way of stocking up and ensuring his larder is full in case of leaner times. Even though he is not planning on eating however many toys he’s got stored up, as they won’t taste anywhere as near as good as the food you give him, it could well be a placebo for satisfying his food storage instincts.

Some dogs miss having company. They really are not designed to be solitary creatures and are much happier when they are with you or others of their own kind. Dogs, because of our domestic situation, no longer have access to what would be their natural family arrangement, the pack. If they were still in the wild, they would sleep en masse rather than alone. If you, the pet owner and current pack leader as far as your dog is concerned, have gone to bed, then your pup will look to replace your presence with whatever he can. If a soft toy gives him solace in his solitude and he takes it to bed to cuddle up to, is there really anything wrong with that?
Well, there just might be.
