6 Ways Your Dog Says, “I Love You”

Having a dog can help people stay healthier, reduce stress, enjoy companionship, and even add meaning and purpose to their lives.

You love your dog, and who could blame you?

Luckily, your dog loves you right back. In their own way, your dog is telling you that he loves you all the time.

1. One of the Most Common Ways Your Dog Says “I Love You”: Looking Into Your Eyes

We’ve all wondered from time to time, “does my dog loves me?”

Most likely, the answer is yes. Whether you are hanging out at home or exploring the great outdoors on a hike, one way that your dog shows you that they love you is by gazing into your eyes. This helps to develop a strong emotional bond and increases oxytocin in both you and your dog.

2. Bringing You Their Toys

Another way your buddy shows you dog love, is by bringing you their favorite toy. Dogs are normally pretty possessive about toys, and by sharing it with you, they are saying that they love and trust you.

3. Yawning When You Yawn

Everyone knows that yawning is contagious among humans, but did you know it is also contagious among dogs? Some scientists think that your dog is yawning when you yawn because of your emotional connection and empathy.

4. Sleeping With You

Having a loving dog sleeping with you in your bed or in your room at night can be one of the most comforting things. It’s also a sign that your pet is loyal to you and loves you.

If you and your dog huddled together, this is known to strengthen the bond between the two of you. Dogs learn to feel secure and comfortable by being physically close to their owners.

5. Wagging Their Tails

Dogs use their tails to communicate a wide variety of things. There are many different ways to interpret what your dog is saying when he is wagging his tail. However, no matter what, it typically means that they are emotionally engaged and are open to interaction with you.

6. Showing Their Tongues and Raising Their Eyebrows

Research shows that when humans are looking at dogs, they produce more facial movements. These facial movements can include making their eyes look bigger by raising eyebrows and displaying their tongues.
