Do you have a dog? I don’t, but I really want one. First though I need to understand the connection between Humans and dogs this is what I discovered.
Bonds between humans and dogs can be unbreakable like some parent-infant attachments. It seems to be this specific relationship of shared understanding and close affiliation that is at the heart of the view that dogs are indeed humans’ best friend.
New research shows that when our canine pals stare into our eyes, they start the same hormonal response that connects us to human infants. The study—the first to show this hormonal bonding effect between humans and another species—may help explain how dogs became our companions thousands of years ago.
It’s not just the walks and the Frisbee catching; canines seem to understand us in a way that no other animal does. Point at an object, for example, and a dog will look at where you’re pointing—an intuitive reading of our intentions.
There are many reasons why humans and dogs share such a special bond. Dogs have been man’s best friend for centuries. They were the first animals to be domesticated by humans, and have been an essential part of human society ever since. The love people have for their furry friends is unwavering. From understanding each other’s emotions to being protective of one another, here are five reasons why humans and our canine companions share such a special bond.
- Dogs provide unconditional love to humans. (Dogs are one of the most loyal animals on earth. They are protective and give us endless amounts of love and the feeling of being needed.)
- Dogs are obedient (If you have a strong bond with your human, they will most likely do as they are told.
- Dogs help you feel needed (Dogs are not only man’s best friend, but they are also there to make us feel needed. They do this by fulfilling their duties as companion animals, which includes things like doing tricks, sitting on command, and playing fetch, as well as simply being there for us in times of need. Pets act as a loyal friend who won’t judge you and will always be there for you.)
- Dogs lower human’s stress levels (Dogs can be a great form of stress relief for humans. When a person is stressed, they experience increased levels of cortisol. Studies show that when people pet their dogs, the dog’s presence lowers cortisol levels in humans by up to 50 percent.)
- Dogs can be used as therapy animals.(For those who are struggling with depression, anxiety, or other mental health issues, therapy dogs can be highly beneficial.)
Thanks for reading hope you Learned more about our relationship with dogs like I did.
