The rate of speed at which you spin is causing you to generate your own gravitational force. The dog, pulled in by the centrifugal force is forced to lay on you due to your self generated gravity. If you were to suddenly stop spinning, your dog would fly up into outer space.
I recommend you buy a space suit for your animal.

Have you ever seen a dog or a cat get a favorite toy, snack, blanket, etc and lay on it? It's pretty much the same principle. They're showing affection and also like the warmth and the rhythmic breathing. You can actually get little pillow-like things that simulate breathing to put in a kitten's basket. They find it comforting.

Your Dog Loves You

because dogs seem to feel protected when theyre laying on a bigger individual and also its scientifically proven that when your chest goes up and down when your breathing,,dogs identify your respiratory system and fall asleep faster!

Man's Best Friend, is all.
Funny thing is.. humans act like that, too. My 3-year old likes to go hop on my wife's lap while she's sitting on the toilet. Now that's love.
(Of course, my wife screems and kicks him off most of the time.)

Because she loves you! Haven't you ever seen how groups of dogs sleep? She's doing the same thing with you! (Or, you may just be warm. hehe)

She considers herself dominant over you--the leader of the pack.

She likes you. She likes you a lot, like Forest Gump.
I wish my dog would do that. He's totally aloof.

Because dogs are pack (social) animals.

Becuase she loves you... You are her master and she's trying to show you that she's a good dog.
