How to Tell If Your Dog Loves You

Dogs are some of the most common household pets, and they have a lot of ways of expressing themselves, especially when they love someone. If you own one, you’ve probably wondered how you can tell if your puppy loves you.

5-Minute Crafts made a quick guide that will help you understand your furry companion better.

1. They want to sleep near you.

A great sign that your dog loves you is when it wants to sleep or nap with you. During sleep is when a dog is the most vulnerable. Even sleeping in its own puppy bed in the same room as you shows that it wants to be close to you as much as possible.

2. They’re excited to see you.

Your dog being thrilled to see you is another way you can be assured they love you and miss you when you’re gone. Wagging their tail is a common way dogs use to show their emotions.

3. They make eye contact with you.

Eye contact is also a way of showing how much your dog loves you. If your furry friend looks at you while you’re playing together or it lies down next to you, it’s telling you that it loves you.

4. They check on you regularly.

Your puppy may also follow you around the house while you cook, clean, and even go to the bathroom. Checking up on you is just another telltale sign your dog loves being around you.

5. They bring you their favorite toy.

Your dog’s favorite toy is like their most prized possession. Besides being an invite to play, bringing that toy to you is a sign they trust you and feel safe around you.
