Does My Dog Really Love Me? Science Says Yes!

Have you ever looked into your dog’s eyes and wondered, “Do they actually love me, or am I just the person with the food?” 🦴

You’re not alone! Whether you’ve had your dog for years or you’ve just welcomed a new pup into your life, it’s completely normal to question what’s going on behind those wagging tails and puppy-dog eyes.

So, if you’ve ever asked, “How do I know my dog loves me?”, this episode has your answer. It’s the reassurance every dog owner needs, wrapped up in kindness, connection, and a whole lot of pawsitivity.
