Love is often considered the most human of emotions. Ancient Greeks had four words for it. Modern philosophers seem to each have their own personal definition. Given the power and importance of love to humans, and the undeniable bond between pets and their owners, it’s no doubt why dog owners often ask themselves “does my dog love me?” or “how can I tell if my dog loves me?”
Rest assured, if you are asking the question, then you are probably quite loved by your fur-child. But just in case, here’s a list of the top signs your dog loves you!
10. They are Excited to See You
This one may seem the most obvious and simple, but that is because it is true. If your dog is excited to see you, then she/he probably loves you. Whether it be jumping on you at the door when you get home (even if you’ve only been gone for 5 minutes!), smiling, licking your face with an unrivaled passion, or wagging their tail with such gusto that it could knock over a table or bruise the leg of a passer-by, genuine excitement is the first sign that your dog loves you!
