Studies have shown that since
dogs and humans have been intertwined throughout history, they have developed
ways to show their love for humans.
But you may be wondering: How do these dogs show their love?
1. They Lick You
This is an obvious sign of
affection dogs and even wolves show - assuming you don't have any sauce on your
face that they want to taste. Licking you, especially your face, is a signal of
friendliness and submission.
2. They Wag Their Tails
A dog can express many different
emotions by wagging their tail, and sometimes, it may not be due to being
happy. However, if other signs of
comfort are displayed, then you can safely assume that your dog is showing you
that they feel happy being with you! A relaxed and non-intense wagging is more
likely to be about comfort and happiness than any other emotion.
3. They Roll Over
When a dog wants a bit of
scratching or rubbing on their belly, they tend to roll over. And who would they want to rub their belly,
other than someone they trust? Nobody, so if they let you rub them, it means
that they trust you enough to expose their vulnerable belly to you.
4. They Follow You
A devoted dog doesn't want to let
their owner go anywhere without them - at least in the first few weeks. If they
follow you, it's because they want to feel protected. They are social beings
and tend to form packs, and if they follow you often, it more than likely means
you’re the pack leader.
5. They Jump on You
As puppies, they want to lick
their mother's face and have to jump in order to so. This behavior persists
through adulthood when they see you as their "parent." You might feel
uncomfortable when your dog jumps on you, and that's fine, but all they want is
to innocently show you their love.
6. They Play with You
Sometimes, your dog will be eager to start "wrestling" with you. This is completely normal since this is a way to create stronger bonds with others. This wrestling can include biting or swiping at you. While this can be a sign of love to them, it should be toned down to avoid hurting others or unnecessary vet bills.
7. They Lean on You
If they see you as a person they trust, they will also lean on you occasionally. It's not a thing they do only when they're tired; they do it to show you are the one they can count on.
8. They Bring You Their Favorite Toy
Bringing their favorite toy to you
is their way of saying: "Here, you will like it a lot!" There is
nothing more beautiful than sharing, and dogs know it too. The toy might be all
torn apart and useless to you, but to them, it may be the most precious thing
they have.
9. They Cuddle with You
Dogs are not really fond of
cuddling, but if they don't get upset when you cuddle with them, then they're
just enjoying your company.
10. They Sleep Next to You
Nothing feels safer than sleeping
with someone strong that you can trust, right? Dogs often say yes to this
question, too. If they come near you or on your bed while you're sleeping, it's
because they want to feel protected.
