The dog is man’s best friend, and these attitudes are proof of his devotion.
Most dog owners know how to recognize that their pet loves them more than anything through simple attentions: he licks our hand, wants to play with us, celebrates when we walk through the door, cries when we leave him, asks for caresses and gives us cuddles… So many little attentions which prove that our furballs are demonstrative of the love they have for us. But according to dog experts, dogs show up much more often than you might think.
On the networks, Joe Dog Tips explains that canine affection manifests itself through signals that owners do not always see, on a daily basis. They reveal their feelings through revealing and discreet signs which reveal the devotion they have towards their master. Starting with sitting close to you, close enough to “feel your breath“If they sleep close to you, it also means that they feel confident enough in this vulnerable moment and that they consider you a member of their pack. Another sign is the way the dog sits.
If he is placed with his back to you, while maintaining contact, this can be a sign of trust considering that dogs generally do not turn their backs on strangers. This behavior is, according to the expert, a sign of affection which indicates that he feels safe around you. Another sign of affection that we don’t necessarily pay attention to: the fact that a dog interrupts its activity when we pass in front of it, as if to check on us, to check that everything is okay. And for him, it is a sign of affection, because this gentle eye contact releases oxytocin, the attachment hormone.
These small, discreet gestures, often unnoticed, nevertheless reveal the deep attachment that our dogs have for us on a daily basis. By learning to observe them better, we strengthen not only our bond with them, but also our ability to meet their emotional needs. Because understanding these signs also means returning all the love they give us unconditionally.
