For thousands of years, dogs have been our companions. Over time, they gained the reputation of being a “man’s best friend”. Many people think that the relationship between man and dog is a relationship based on need. However, that’s not true.
Dogs develop a strong bond with humans based on love and affection. They express their love through obedience and good behavior. But, do you know that dogs can also say I love you? Obviously, they can’t talk, but they have different methods of communication.
How Dogs Say I Love You?
Want to know when your dog is saying I love you? If yes, then you should read this post where I have mentioned some ways in which your dogs say I love you without saying it.
1. Constantly Making Eye Contact
You feel something lurking, eyes piercing on you… oh, it’s just your shadow dog making sure they have a glimpse of you no matter where you are in the house. Some dogs like to be able to keep you in eyes view because of their protective instincts and you are the thing they hold most precious.
2. Resting Their Heads on You
Even the most independent dogs have their moments where they want to be close with their fur moms and dads. So, if your dog rests his head on you while you watch TV or read a book on the couch, then he is expressing his love for you.
3. Waking You Up With Kisses
Sometimes I wake up with a paw to the face or bark to let me know its breakfast time. But *sometimes* I get woken up with gentle licks and cuddles with no urgency to get up. These quiet moments send a message that can only be relayed as 1 thing- I love you. So, if your dog often wakes you up with licks and cuddles, they are in love with you.
4. Bringing You Gifts
Did your dog bring a stick, a leaf, a blanket, a dead rat to you? While it may seem meaningless to you, dogs will often retrieve special items and bring them to your feet as a way to say, I love you. The things they bring might not be important for you, but for your dog, it is special. So, appreciate your dog, when they retrieve something for you.
5. Smiling
Smiling is the ultimate expression for being content. When dogs smile, this indicates that they are living one of the happiest moments of their lives. And if they stare at your while smiling, they are saying I love you. After all, all we want is for our pets to feel love and be happy right?
Conclusion
