A Dog's Love

We often think of dogs licking our faces as their equivalent of a kiss. It only makes sense – we enjoy kissing them back in return, after all. And it seems that they find it equally wonderful in return! But is this common perception really the case?

Why do we yawn? The most common explanation is that we do so in order to take in more oxygen for our brains – but science hasn’t really offered us any proof on that front. There’s also no real way of telling if this applies to dogs as well.

Yawning is a perfectly normal and ordinary behavior. In the human body, we usually yawn to fill up our lungs and take in more oxygen – but socially and culturally, we interpret yawning in many other ways as well. Usually, we take it to indicate boredom or exhaustion.

Yes, purebreds can have defining breed characteristics – but exceptions will always exist. After all, every dog is an individual, and so they will have their own personalities and preferences!

Making sure your dogs are happy can be a pretty difficult task in and of itself. As it turns out, just catering to their physical needs is nowhere near enough – you have to make sure that they are cared for emotionally and psychologically as well.
