It's for security.
The pup will have learned that being close to its mum means safety, so a larger dog will represent the same feelings - a warm body and an adult smell will mean he is safe to chew his bone in peace.
This will stop when he gets bigger - if your big dog doesn't object, and they usually don't, just leave them to it.
