Dog Gets Smitten By The Neighbour's Pup, And Even Goes On Dates With Him
According to a psychologist, dogs (like humans) have hormones and experience chemical shifts during emotional states. Since they go through developmental stages faster than we do, they too can feel joy, sadness, fear, disgust, anger, and love.
Dogs may not share our beliefs about romantic love; however, they do show their love through actions.
They are capable of demonstrating passion and devotion through love-supporting behaviors. Just like us, they have a hormone that indicates a strong likelihood of falling in love: oxytocin (also known as the love hormone).
In fact, there was a study about it. Researchers found that dogs also release oxytocin, which occurs when they have positive interactions with us and their dog partners.
Science believes that dogs are capable of falling in love with their fellow dogs, so it's no surprise that a dog named Phoenix became love-struck with the neighbor's dog.
Just this month, Phoenix’s owner took a video, serving as proof that she is indeed in love with the dog next door. In a video posted on TikTok, you can see the female dog looking through a small hole in the backyard fence.
If you're wondering what makes this dog so enamored, you'll see the answer in the video posted by Phoenix's owner. Let's take a look!
As you can see, Phoenix is crushing on Bentley.
It's the neighbor's fluffy white pup. They even have playdates too!
It seems that Phoenix is on an oxytocin rush whenever she sees her crush. This chemical is vital to the formation of bonds for dogs.
Although they don't have the imagination to fantasize like we do, they have the ability to form lasting bonds with their fellow dogs and other animals.
As you can see, Phoenix likes peering through the small hole. This is already an indication that she's in love.
Luckily, the owners of Phoenix and Bentley became aware of their infatuation for each other.
For the owners, they're making sure that the love between them won't be expressed from afar. The two dogs are playing together now.
Dogs don't really have a form of romantic love like we do; still, they can have their preferences.
The relationship between Phoenix and Bentley is a great example. Furthermore, a dog's love isn't limited to us or their own kind.
They can also feel love for other animals and can even bond with their stereotypical enemies: cats.
Dogs may not express their love through words, but they have multiple ways to communicate their desires, emotions, and passion.
Among the obvious signs that they're in love is when they wag their tails. When they're near the dogs they like, they may feel the need to nuzzle them.
You may see dog besties spend time engaged with each other while they go on walks, sleep, eat, and play together. When they're excited to see another dog, you'll see them jumping around.
Do you see how happy Phoenix, Bentley, and another dog are when they run together? It's a sign that they're enjoying each other's company.
