You know when your dog looks you in the eyes, tilts their head slightly, and you’re willing to cancel every plan just to spend more time with them? There’s some science behind that reaction. Research found that mutual gazing between dogs and their owners was associated with increased oxytocin, a hormone involved in social bonding, in both species.
This is why looking into each other’s eyes strengthens the bond between you and your pawsome companion. And also why you feel the urge to give in when your furry companion looks up at you with their big eyes because they want a bite of the food you had absolutely no intention of sharing.
Living with a dog can be a good way to become more active. Walking dogs can help promote physical activity and support better health for humans. It also gives the canines opportunities to explore their surroundings and get the exercise they need.
Activity needs vary by age, breed, and health, but having a furry companion waiting by the door can be a pretty effective reason to put down your phone and get moving.
Dogs may be loyal companions, expert snack negotiators, and professional troublemakers, but they’re also an endless source of laughs. And these memes prove that their goofy antics and dramatic reactions are just as entertaining online as they are in real life.
