It's nice knowing that your pooch loves you, and it's even more amazing knowing that there are signs that tell you that he's crazy about you. Who knew that a yawn could mean so much? Or an eyebrow movement meant that they are excited to be around you?! Doggies show their love for you daily, and now you know what signs to look for thanks to Rover!
He Goes Crazy When You Come Home
We’ve all seen this before, you walk in the front door and you are eagerly greeted by your dog, tail wagging with a toy in his mouth (and probably lots of jumping too!). This is love in its truest form.Eyebrow Movement
According to Care2.com, a dog’s love isn’t all about tail wagging, but instead, facial expressions. In a recent study in Japan, dogs were introduced to their parent, a stranger, a dog toy, and an item they disapproved of. When seeing their parent, the dogs immediately lifted their eyebrows (especially their left), and when they saw a stranger there was significantly less facial movement, and movement of the right brow.He Really Looks at You
In a recent 60-Minutes segment on CBS, Anderson Cooper met with Brian Hare, a well-known dog expert, to discuss a dog’s love. According to this segment, when your dog looks you in the eye, he is “hugging you with his eyes.”He Yawns With You
We’ve all heard that yawning is contagious, and have experienced the inevitable yawn, when a friend yawns while is talking to you (Did you just yawn? Even reading about yawning can make you yawn!). But, did you know that dogs experience the same contagious sensation?According Live Science, in a recent study it is stated that when humans yawn it is due to the fact that humans are empathetic, and sense the yawn in their peer. It’s nearly impossible to measure if dogs are empathetic, but it is likely that this yawning symbolizes a bond to their human.
