Dogs are so goofy and adorable that you just can’t keep a straight face. People love sharing their dogs being all… well dogs, and we love it. We’ve compiled a list of the 50 of the cutest dog posts, and we know you are going to love them. Now, start scrolling. You’ll thanks us later.
For instance, a thorough review of studies released between 1950 and 2019 concluded that dog owners had better health-lower blood pressure and responded to stress better. Even people who had previous coronary issues were seeing health improvement.
Our dogs also make us more sociable and open. Researchers concluded that 40% of dog owners make friends easier than people without these wonderful animals.
Andrea Arden, a dog trainer and pet expert, says that the dog and human relationship is very similar to a parent and child relationship. "Dogs feel most secure, comfortable, and happy when around their people," the author of Barron's Dog Training Bible and Dog-Friendly Dog Training says.
"Even just the scent of their human makes them happy. This has been proven in studies that use MRIs to track brain activity in dogs."
And it's so easy to see. "A dog looks at the owner and attempts to work out what kind of relationship is taking place," Nigel Reed, a dog behaviorist, and author from London, UK, said.
Dogs love us unconditionally and don't ask anything in return, but that doesn't mean we should neglect them. "Dogs provide one of the most uncomplicated (and most beneficial) relationships one could hope," Arden emphasized.
"Making them happy is generally as simple as providing them a home, nutritious food, clean water, appropriate toys, plenty of appropriate exercises for them to release both physical and mental energy, and companionship. Pretty short and easy list for a bestie."
And while dogs can't really express emotions as humans can, it's pretty easy to see when they are having a good time. "A dog's body language tells you a lot about how they're feeling," Arden said. "Relaxed, soft, loose body language (including soft tail wag, play bows, relaxed ear set, and soft eyes) are all indicative of a happy dog. Also, a good appetite, good sleep habits (about 16 hours a day for an adult dog), and enthusiasm for interaction are signs that a dog is healthy and happy in their environment.".
