My thoughts are either he was trying to protect you as you said (most of us know our dogs better than others do.) The other possibility was him taking a alpha position to feel more secure. (This would be something a cat would be more likely to do... go to a high spot to feel more secure... but you never know. The more secure a dog feels in its role of superiority the less it will act like its station. Dogs that we can clearly see being dominant on a daily basis are NOT secure about being alpha or beta.)
I don't know your dog though... So I'd take your word that he was indeed trying to protect you.

Please, if your dog is arthritic look into getting it Elk Velvet Antler. Look up my posts on it, PM me, or look it up on a search engine; but please if you love your dog and want it to live many more years consider this option. I've seen so many posts on here about dogs needlessly suffering. I can't make a new post about EVA every time so this plea is going here. EVA also helps with other ailments such as anemia.
