12 Signs Your Pet REALLY Loves You
12 Signs Your Pet REALLY Loves You (And What Each One Means!
Ever wondered how your dog or cat says “I love you”? As a dog mom and your go-to pet-friendly Realtor in Las Vegas, I get it — our pets are family. 🐾 They may not speak, but their actions speak volumes. Here’s how to know your fur baby is head-over-heels for YOU.
🐶 DOGS
Licking You
Dogs lick as a way to show affection — it’s their version of kissing. Puppies lick their mothers and humans as a learned behavior to express love and bond.
Wanting to Cuddle
Most dogs crave touch. Cuddling helps release oxytocin (the bonding hormone), making them feel secure and connected to you.
Calm When You Leave
If your dog stays relaxed when you head out, it means they trust that you’ll return. That’s a sign of deep emotional security.
Smiling at You
Yes, dogs can smile! A relaxed face with a happy expression shows they’re content, especially after a good meal or playtime.
Making Eye Contact
Dogs that hold soft, steady eye contact with you are showing affection and trust. In the wild, direct eye contact can be threatening, so this is a big deal in doggy love.
Running and Jumping Around You
Happy excitement — especially when you come home — is a full-body love explosion. That high-energy greeting means you're their favorite person.
Lifting Eyebrows When They See You
Dogs raise their eyebrows when they’re happy or curious. It’s like saying, “Hey! I know you, and I like you!”
Leaning on You
This is physical affection and comfort-seeking. Dogs press their bodies to people they love and trust.
Raiding the Hamper
Gross, but sweet. Your scent comforts your dog. Stealing your socks or clothes is their way of staying close to you, even when you're not around.
Looking at You When Cuddling
If they stare lovingly during snuggle time, it’s a sign of feeling safe and warm in your presence.
Sleeping in Your Bed
Choosing to sleep near or in your bed shows deep attachment. Dogs sleep where they feel the safest — and that’s you.
Loving the People You Love
Dogs can sense who matters to you. When they’re affectionate with your family or friends, it’s their way of saying, “If you love them, I do too.”
