When we have a dog in our life, we quickly become accustomed to the way that they act. Although it may not be exactly like a human, we often identify them with human characteristics and we may even invent a cute little voice that we provide for them when we want them to “speak”.
In reality, dogs are quite different from humans and when you understand them, you begin to truly identify with them as an individual. As we go down through various dog characteristics, you will truly come to appreciate them. It doesn’t matter if he is bringing you gifts, laying on your feet or yawning, they do it for a reason and now you will know.
Bringing You Gifts
Have you ever had a dog drop a gift in your lap? They do this to show off their ability but they also want to give you a present. In addition, they may be providing the present because they want something in return.
When they take over your bed
Dogs sprawl out on the bed for a reason. They are pack animals, and they want to be with other members of the pack.
When They Sit on Your Feet
As a pack animal, dogs may display alpha characteristics. Sitting on top of your feet means that they are marking their territory and claiming you as a pack member.
When They Put Their Paws up
This is a sign that the dog is concentrating. They have figured something out and it is their way of showing it.
When your dog yawns
Your dog is yawning for the same reason that you yawn in many cases. They may be bored or perhaps tired. Some people also feel that yawning is a sign of stress.
When They Trash Your Couch
We have certainly seen our share of these pictures online. In most cases, it is because your dog is suffering from separation anxiety.
When Your Dog Leans against Your Leg
Dogs will often do this when they need reassurance. They need to know that you love them and that they are in a safe place.
When Your Dog Hunches over
Your dog is trying to become unnoticeable. It’s a type of survival instinct and it is often seen in abused animals. Show your dog some extra affection.
When they stare at you
Your dog stares at you because they love you and they seem to appreciate looking at the object of their affection.
