Why do dogs lean on their owners?

Many people have pets at their home, and hence they shower the love on them like their kith and kin. We all know that the responsible dog owners treat cute pets like their kids and provide them unconditional love. The only thing which we are not familiar about is the returning favour of the dog. Whether all the dogs love their owners? And if they like what the symptoms do they show. Indeed dogs love their owners and hence some dogs lick their face while others follow them all around the house and lay on the feet of their owners.

Most of the pets lean on their pets as they feel comfortable with their presence. Tipping of the dog on the owners is also a sign of affection, and the dog wants to prove that it cares for the owner. The dogs also lean on their owners if they find them in any danger.

Are domestic dogs empathetic?

All the dogs are empathetic irrespective of their nature or kind, whether domesticated or wild. Dogs love to take care of their family, and the trained dogs consider their owners as their family. One can find their dog always near to them when they are sick, angry, or crying. The dogs are just like wolves that take care of their packs, and hence one can expect true friendship from the dogs when they are nearer to them. Researchers also conducted a study on the emotional bond between the owners and the dogs.

Few people and the owner of the dog were instructed to cry to find whether the dog can catch the voice of their owner in distress. The research proved good results as the dog rushed to their owner to find the course of their crying. One thing we can conclude here is that dogs genuinely love their owners.

Eye to eye contact is the symbol of the love

The director of the canine cognition centre Brian Hare concluded that the dogs who look at their owners pretend to hug them with their eyes. We all know about the oxytocin hormone, which is shared between the mother and the child. The same hormone is produced in the dogs when they play stare or hug their owners. The adorable pets want love and time to show their care.
