I had the sweetest dog in the world who did the same thing. But, she didn't have to be with anyone. She just had to be on the bed - and beware anyone who wanted to take her off the bed. Sometimes, she even did this if she was curled up and comfortable on her favorite chair. There was no way anyone was going to move her if she had her way.
I always felt she was saying, "Leave me alone and let me be. I am happy where I am. I don't want to be moved..... growl growl growl -- teeth showing and the whole bit.
BUT - I had her more than 10 years and she never bit anyone in her life - and was a very friendly dog - she especially loved children.

My sister stayed with me one night and woke up with a stiff sore back. She said it was because she only had about 8 inches of bed to sleep on all night. I asked her why, and she said because Dutchess was sleeping and pushing against her. I said, "Why didn't you just move Dutchess over?" She said, "For sure! Like I'm going to do that. Have you ever tried to move Dutchess when she's on the bed?????" She had a point...
