It has long been said that dog is man’s best friend - and with good reason! These constantly upbeat companions are faithfully by our side through thick and thin (and every meal we eat). There are dogs that train just to help humans through emotional stress or assist with physical needs. These simple acts show a lot about a dog’s heart, and us humans want our furry best friends to know they are appreciated. Here are 5 easy ways to tell that your dog is feeling your love and sharing the feeling.
They Can’t Wait To See You Come Home
Coming home after a long day of work and seeing our best friend is one of the things that pet owners look forward to each day, and it’s easy to tell when the feeling is mutual. Wagging tales, looking at the window, and running around the room in excitement are all easy ways to tell that you’ve made the top 5 friends list.
Showing Affection
A happy dog often enjoys letting their human know how special they are, and it doesn’t hurt that these gestures are sometimes responded to with treats and belly rubs. If your dog is pawing for your attention, giving you little licks, or resting its head on you - keep up the loving household. You are clearly doing something right!
Bringing Their Favorite Toy
Sharing is caring. Dogs may not have invented the phrase, but they certainly understand it. Toys are an important part of a fulfilling dog life and its favorite toys exist in an entirely different level of hallowed space for our furry friends. Whether it is due to a squeaky sound or a fun texture to bite - some toys just mean more. When our beloved pet shares their favorite toy with us they are letting us know they value the relationship more than physical items - and that they are ready for a good game of catch.
Check-Ups
A loving dog doesn’t always have to be in the room with their human friend, but they do love checking in on what they are doing! Watching tv, cooking, exercising, reading a book, and every other daily task are all interesting activities to check out when they are being accomplished by the one you hold most dear. Another loving action by a caring dog.
