1. He’s sleeping on the floor, his dog lying beside him.
2. He’s sleeping on the floor, with his dog lying beside him.
(by me)

I want to know if these two sentences are correct and have the same meaning.

 

[Yankee]

Yes and Yes.

There may be a teensie bit less focus on the dog in the second, but that may be debatable. Their positions are the same.
