Number one gazing into your eyes Japanese scientists from the department
of animal science and biotechnology at a Zombo university along with specialists
from other Japanese universities conducted a study that showed how dogs
develop strong emotional connections with humans by staring into their eye
this silent contact increases the level of the social hormone oxytocin in both
dogs and
humans scientists also believe
that this
human-like mode of
communication
may have been acquired by
dogs during
the domestication process
tightening
their bond with their future
owners
Number two bringing you their
toys all
dog lovers know how possessive
their
friend can get about their toys
and other
chews so 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
pets love for you is strong
and
unconditional this comes from a
dog's close
connection to its pack in
each pack
the leader for your dog it's
obviously
you eats first other experts
see this as
a declaration of endless
trust
either way it's one of the biggest
expressions
of a dog's love out there
Number three yawning when
you yawn
humans yawn
contagiously and this
process is
closely connected to our
empathy and
as it turns out a dog's
nature here
is almost the same according
to a study
conducted by Teresa Romero
and her
colleagues at the University of
Tokyo
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 the check if your
dog truly
loves you your and see what
happens
Number 4 sleeping with
you the dogs are
known to be
pack animals and even though
some of
their past pack habits are long
gone they
still like to take advantage
of their
buddies body heat but what's
especially
important is that 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 so don't be afraid to
let your
pet sleep next to you because
scientists
totally approve according to
a 2017
study published in Mayo Clinic
proceedings
sleeping with your dog can
actually
improve your sleep efficiency
since
having your pet nearby helps you
relax more
number 5 wagging their tail
we usually
connect tail wagging with
friendliness
what specialists insists
that it can
portray a whole range of
emotions
dr. Carlos acusa of the
University
of Pennsylvania School of
Veterinary
Medicine says that tail
wagging is
a special language that dogs
used to
speak to us in general it's a
sign that
your dog is open for
interaction
and emotionally engaged in
everything
that's going on around them
however it
also depends on the height
and speed
of the wag
a wagging
tail held high is a sign of
enthusiasm
and confidence a lower tail
indicates
nervousness a stiff or slow
wag on the
other hand is a red flag
revealing
that your dog is tense and not
in the mood
to be friendly
number 6
raising
their eyebrows and showing their
tongue a
study published in scientific
reports
journal in 2017 showed that 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 no one can
resist
puppy-dog eyes well that's how I
got hooked
and just so you understand
the true
power of a dog's love even the
presence of
food had no impact
whatsoever
on their expressions by the
way another
study that was published in
the journal
Science confirmed that your
furry
friend understands not only your
words but
the tone of your speech too so
your dog
certainly appreciates all your
long loved
monologues oh you're such a
good boy
yet you are
number seven cuddling with
you there's
nothing like cuddling with
your dog
scientists from as Abba
University
along with other specialists
confirm
that your dog enjoys the
experience
just as much for them pugs
are a great
stress reliever in addition
petting and
talking to your pet even for
a few
minutes
boosts
oxytocin levels for both you and
your dog
but if your dog isn't that keen
on cuddles
it may because of the history
and
genetics of their breed
after all
some dogs were bred to be
affectionate
while others were taught to
be
completely different
number eight leaning on you as you
already
know dogs are pack animals by
nature
which makes them seek closeness
with their
pack and you are naturally
one of them
specialists believe that
dogs lean
and touch their owners for
physical
and emotional support seeing
them as
someone who can protect and
comfort
them the study that was
published
in science stated that dogs
experience
a release of positive brain
chemicals
when they're with the humans
they love
and some vets are sure that
they often
try to tighten this bond
through
touch so leaning on you is a
sign of the
highest form of trust
number nine letting you touch their
head
dog
training experts including Sara
Bartlett
from hound helpers limited 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 so if you notice
your dog is
not only tolerating it but
also
enjoying the process and closing
its eyes
and appreciation they
definitely
love you back just remember
not to do
something like this when you
meet a new
dog for the very first time
it's better
to give them a moment to
feel a bit
more comfortable in your
presence.
number 10 calmly watching you
leave 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 however not all
dogs are
blessed with having no
separation
anxiety whatsoever if your dog is extremely attached to you and
gets nervous or even anxious
watching
you leave take it seriously and
visit a
vet experts also suggest doing the
things you usually do before leaving
and
then stag then as your dog becomes
less anxious
about seeing the usual routine you
do
before leaving try to go out for a
short
period of time slowly increasing the
time you spend outside the most
important thing is never to leave
your
pet if you see that they're stressed
and
to give them a nice treat if they
waited
calmly for you.
number 11
going crazy
when you come back the
series of
experiments conducted by
specialists
from the department of
animal
environment and health of the
Swedish
University of Agricultural
Sciences
well those
experiments prove that a warm
and
exciting welcome indicates that your
dog is
massively invested in you when
you come
home your dog's emotions start
certain
processes in their bodies
increasing
the social hormone oxytocin
and
decreasing the stress hormone
cortisol so
don't forget to interact
with your
dog both physically and
verbally
when you get back this way the
high level
of oxytocin will be
maintained
for much longer
oh and
here's a bonus number 12 if your
