People Online Share Heartwarming Stories To Prove That Dogs Do Have Favorite Humans
Dogs may be loyal, but they do not always spread that loyalty evenly.
The discussion centers on why dogs seem to bond more deeply with one person, from daily routines and playtime to simple comfort and familiarity. As the stories pile up, it becomes hard to ignore how often a dog’s choice feels obvious to everyone except the humans involved.
And once the comments start rolling in, the evidence gets pretty hard to dismiss.
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
It also reminds me of the girlfriend forced to choose between her boyfriend and his sometimes aggressive dog.
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.
