People Online Share Heartwarming Stories To Prove That Dogs Do Have Favorite Humans
Just like their human friends, dogs are likely to have a favorite person. Although this depends on a variety of reasons, some of which include the individual's personality, interactions with the dog, and how well the individual tends to their basic needs.
Just like us humans, dogs form loyal relationships with particular people over time based on positive interactions and associations. The best way to develop a strong bond with your dog is through play, unlike other people who rely on tasty food and other forms of rewards.
Playful, energetic games and enjoyable activities with your pet can promote strong bonds and connections. Dogs choose their closest companions for many of the same reasons we humans do, including personal compatibility.
However, the first impressions your dog has of you matter significantly, especially if you've known them since they were a puppy. Another factor that could influence who your dog considers to be their best friend is the amount of time you spend with them.
Your dog may linger close by, prepared to play or cuddle, if they've had some very enjoyable, deep bonding time with you and are looking forward to more of it. Users of Quora have been posed with the question: Do dogs have a favorite human?
And they delivered, providing interesting stories to prove their points.
1. To start things off
2. Absolutely yes!!!
First, I would like to introduce my cute baby, Sophia. It wasn’t a good beginning when I first saw her; it was a summer day, and I was traveling to a suburb in China. Sophia was only 30 days old, I guess; she was so tiny and crying helplessly in a dirty, stinking ditch. I fished her out of the ditch and took her to the nearest pet hospital. The doctor told me that she was a Chinese Country Dog and had just opened her eyes a week prior.
I decided to take her with me no matter where I would go. This was the first night I stayed with her; we were at a small hotel, together!
She fell asleep so fast after I fed her some pet milk; she was so quiet that I couldn’t believe she was a baby dog! A month later, we embarked on the journey back to America and lived with my grandma. I spent my entire summer days with her, and it seemed that she considered me her mother. I fed her, went out with her every day, played together, slept together, and ate together. I felt I couldn’t leave her anymore.
Then she grew better. This is her favorite mat.
This is her favorite toy (she loves squeaky balls so much!)
3. All dogs do have a person
4. Most dogs are attached to a person
5. A brief attachment story
In my experience, yes, even if that human doesn’t really care for dogs. We got a dog five years ago, and he chose my wife as his person, which was fine with me because I’m a cat person. Two years ago, when our older dog was about three, my wife decided she wanted another dog.
We got a little mixed breed Lab/Coonhound pup from an accidental litter someone in town had. I’m a cat person; I always have been. I don’t mind dogs, but they’re not my first choice. This little pup (he’s two now) decided, much to my dismay, that I’m his person.
This entails constantly following me, no matter what time it is, no matter what I’m doing, and no matter how much I protest. I’ve spent countless hours over the last two years telling this dog where to go, which is anywhere but by me. Countless hours of wasted breath. He won’t leave me alone. At all. If I am in my house, he is next to me. I’ve gotten used to it; I don’t care for it, but I suspect if he suddenly stopped, I’d miss him. So we play the game, and when I wake up in the morning, he’s usually inches away.
I still don’t really like dogs, but don’t tell him.
Here’s another shot to show that he’s actually a cat person too; maybe that’s why he likes me.
Before anyone asks, the cat didn’t try to get away; he loves the attention and the dog. He was only mouthing him and basically getting him covered in dog slobber. The cat is strange.
Here’s a bonus shot when I caught him joining the Dark Side.
The majority of us aspire to be the best buddy of man’s best friend since dogs make such devoted companions. However, you have to do what’s necessary to make the dog choose you, even though there are times when they just choose willingly.
