SUMMARY:
- Japanese scientists conducted a study that showed how dogs develop strong emotional connections with humans by staring into their eyes.
- If your dog proudly runs toward you with their favorite toy or even pushes it forward a bit to encourage you to take it, you can be sure that your pet’s love for you is strong and unconditional.
- Simultaneous yawning is another sign that your pet is emotionally bonded to you. So while scientists are still trying to explain this fun phenomenon, you can do a simple test yourself to check if your dog truly loves you: yawn and see what happens!
- Dogs are pretty vulnerable when they sleep. Therefore, if they choose to snooze next to you, this means that they trust you like no one else.
- A wagging tail held high is a sign of enthusiasm and confidence; a lower tail indicates nervousness.
- Dogs produce way more facial movements when humans are looking at them. They can raise their eyebrows to make their eyes look bigger, show their tongue, or even use their secret weapon that nobody can resist: puppy dog eyes!
- There's nothing like cuddling with your dog! Scientists from Azabu University (along with other specialists) confirm that your dog enjoys the experience just as much! For them, hugs are a great stress reliever!
- Specialists believe that dogs lean and touch their owners for physical and emotional support, seeing them as someone who can protect and comfort them.
- Dog training experts, including Sarah Bartlett from Hound Helpers Ltd, are sure that you should never go over a dog's head and try to pet them this way since they naturally perceive it as a threatening gesture.
- If your dog feels calm whenever you leave the house, it's a sign that your buddy trusts you and knows for sure that you'll come back.
- When you come home, your dogs’ emotions start certain processes in their bodies, increasing the social hormone oxytocin and decreasing the stress hormone cortisol.

I never was an animal person. I didn't want a dog living with us but my kids and wife begged me. Majority rules so we got one. We had Coco for over a year now and she's my best friend and I always think about her while I'm at work lol

Rolling on their back and letting you rub their belly is surely a sign of trust and love.

I’m literally watching this with my dog, Nikko, and I have cookies out, and he’s leaning on me, yawned when I yawn, I’m petting his head, he stares at me constantly and always sleeps with me. He does have severe separation anxiety, which we are working on. He was a rescue but he rescued me. Truly!❤️ and if I kinda dog bark “I Wuv You Mama” at him he mocks me! He’s been posted on Facebook and he told me that on my birthday, Saturday the 30th, in the morning like he knew it was my birthday when I woke up! He Also knows when I’m about to have a seizure. He goes in circles and sits. And he licks me. He knew when I had a deadly heart problem and was in a fibrillation because he would lick my chest and lay his head or paw on my chest, like “Mom go to the hospital!! This is bad!!” He’s an American Staffordshire terroir mixed with Mastiff. To most, he’s a big scary looking dog, but to me, he’s my everything!❤️

I tried to yawn in front of my dog to see if she would yawn back, but she stuck her tonque in my mouth.

When I get home my dog sits down lifting her front legs. She waits for me to bend down n then places each front leg on each of my shoulders giving me a hug. I love her so very much n feel so blessed to have my dog.
