An important point that Rover has spotted. Sleeping dogs don’t mind being woken for food. The saying should be, “Let sleeping dogs lie – unless you feed them.”.
I never have to wake Newton up for food—he can be sound asleep but somehow will hear (?) me opening a cabinet door in the kitchen and he’s suddenly there.
There was a strip several years ago with Rover sleeping soundly . . . suddenly one eye opens and he gets up and stands expectantly in front of Red, who says, “No I haven’t been eating anything while you’ve been napping in the other room.”

And he does not “lie” at all…

Don’t let your dog lie when it’s awake.
It should always tell the truth (when it’s conscious).
