Separation Anxiety or Dominance Behavior

My dog has this obscession with my feet. He lays on them when I am around. He tries to find socks and shoes to lay on when I am not. I am wondering, is this dominance behavior (Trying to be the leader of our pack), or is this separation anxiety (since he was a pound puppy). Your imput will be helpful.

Maybe he just has a foot fetish. If it happens with people, why can't it happen with dogs?
My dog never did this, but he had an affinity for crayons. He would eat my crayons. Weird. (and the excretions after were just as weird)

Sounds like he loves you! My dogs do that to me, too. And I hate when they fart under my bed and it wafts up to me while I'm reading. It's the only time I'm not sure I love them back. ;-)

Your dog likes you very much. This is some type of dominance behavior of dogs.
