A dog shows love through behaviors such as being happy to see you, greeting you warmly, wagging their tail fully and excitedly, licking you, bringing you their favorite toys as gifts, leaning or rubbing against you, making soft and relaxed eye contact, wanting to sleep or sit close to you, and following you around. These signs indicate trust, affection, and a strong bond, showing that your dog loves you beyond just basic needs like food.
Dogs also express love by seeking comfort in your presence, making eye contact that triggers oxytocin (the bonding hormone), and even syncing their emotions with yours, which reflects a deep connection. If your dog exhibits many of these behaviors consistently, it is a strong indication of their love and trust in you.
