The unbreakable bond between dogs and owners
Ever wonder what occupies your dog’s thoughts when you walk out of the door? The answer might surprise you.
Research reveals that dogs spend a significant amount of time thinking about their owners when they are away, demonstrating an unwavering loyalty and deep emotional connection.
Dogs do not comprehend the concept of work, leaving them puzzled about their owner’s disappearance. This curiosity arises from their unique bond with humans, making them constantly await their owner’s return.
Adrienne Carson, Vice President of Behavior and Training at St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare states that dogs miss their owners due to a strong association with positive experiences.
“Dogs greet their owners with increasing enthusiasm after longer absences, research reveals. This eager welcome stems from their social nature which fosters strong attachments and can lead to sadness during separation—a universal canine experience.”
Dr. Deirdre Barrett, a renowned clinical psychologist at Harvard Medical School confirms Coren’s research indicating dogs’ dreams reflect daily life, including interactions with owners, highlighting their emotional deep attachment.
“They likely replay cherished memories in their dreams with their owners as the main focus. Even when you are apart, their subconscious keeps you close, replaying fond moments you have shared.”
Echoing this sentiment, Animals Studio shares a captivating TikTok video that shows dogs view their owners as family, getting more love and protection from humans.
