  • Does you dog really love you? According to Marc Bekoff, cognitive ethologist and author, dogs most likely think and feel similarly to humans. However, not all dogs will automatically show you their love and affection.

    Following is a transcript of the video:
    Your dog is the best. You go on long walks together, cuddle up on the couch, and enjoy sloppy kisses. You really love that pup. But … is there any way to know if your dog loves you back?
    Well, first let’s address the bigger question: does your dog love anything? Can your dog love?
    Marc Bekoff: “I think we can, in many ways, apply the same criteria to dogs as we do to human animals.”
    Marc Bekoff spent a lifetime understanding animal minds. From coyotes and wolves to domestic dogs like yours, and he says that dogs probably think and feel similar to humans.
    Marc Bekoff: “A lot of new research on neuroimaging using functional magnetic resonance imaging- fMRI’s, is showing that the same parts of dog brains and human brains light up when for example, they’re feeling jealous.”
    So the difference between how your dog feels joy, and other emotions, and how you experience them, might be like the difference between you and another human. So dogs can likely experience what we’d think of as loving relationships and studies show that dogs are pretty good at building relationships with us, too.
    One study found that dog brains are highly adapted to recognizing human faces and interpreting our social cues. So, maybe that’s how your dog always knows when you had a bad day.
    But are those puppy dog eyes just for you or is your dog only pretending to love you for food?
    Marc Bekoff: “That, I think, is really ridiculous. Are there dogs who use people for certain things? I’m sure there are, just like there are some people who use people for certain things. But i don’t think that would characterize the overall nature of dog-human relationships.”
    So yes, your dog can love you!
    But just because they can doesn’t automatically mean they do.
    Marc Bekoff: “To say that they’re unconditional lovers is just ridiculous. Each dog is a unique individual and it’s not one-size-fits-all. Even the most brutally abused dogs I’ve met who took months to get them to even make eye contact with me have the capacity to love. But there’s just very good reasons why they don’t. In order for you to feel the love, you have to earn that trust.”
    And like everything worth having in life, that trust will take time and work. But it can be done.
    Marc Bekoff: “It’s sometimes just telling them they’re a good dog when they’ve done nothing. I did a study about the frequency with which people say no, stop that, versus “good dog.”
    And, don’t worry, you’ll know once you’ve gotten to that special point in your relationship.
    Marc Bekoff: “Do they follow you around, do they just hang out with you, not only when you’re feeding them or walking them. Do they seek you out? When you’re not there, is it clear that they miss you?
    Oh yeah, that’s one happy dog. So can your dog love you? Absolutely.
    Does your dog love you? Well, that’s on you.

    I feel like if you've ever had a pet Dog, cat or even a rat, you know these creatures are capable of what we consider high level emotions. I wouldn't say the same of something like a Hamster or a fish, but I've never had them as pets. My brother's fish seem to recognize him, they won't come to me unless I have food, but will swim toward him. I used to have pet rats and they had personalities, showed fear and happiness, friendliness and sadness. It wasn't me projecting my feelings unto them, and even if it was just them reacting to me or the people around them, that shows they can read and react a accurately to emotion, they have empathy. Yes, rats do laugh when you rub their bellies. A well trained rat is a palmed sized dog (without the genetic deformities of a...palm sized dog)

    I love my dog the way I love the rest of my blood related family, and I feel the same connection from my dog, I know she loves me as well as everyone else in my family, my parents, my siblings and my grandma. She greets me when I come home from a long day, I kneel down and she jumps onto my shoulders to give me a big hug and some kisses, and she's very selective of who she gives affection too, obviously she gives the same attention to my other family members but the same can't be said about other visitors, she often growls and gets aggressive towards complete strangers, she does that to protect us, and I can only assume she does that because she cares and loves us enough to have the instinct to protect us. She follows me around the house, she always wants to be where most of the family is, people who say dogs can't love must be out of their minds. Dogs are born to be good creatures, they deserve just as much love as they give, and then more. I know no one will probably care enough to read this, but I love my dog so much I just can't help but express how much I truly love her.

      MGTOW Morpheus: being a dog lover generally doesn't mean you're into bestiality...which is having sex with an animal--and which the animal can't really consent to...I don't advocate bestiality! Maybe one of the things you object to is "neoteny," the retention of juvenile tgraits into adulthood? Where people make "babies" out of their dogs?
      Purse dogs and dogs that always wear clothes because their owners think it's cute? Talking baby talk to dogs, not making them mind but putting up with nasty little doggy habits because the owners think they're so darling? I'd have to agree with that. Though I'm not agains the occasional Halloween or parade costume--for people or dogs. Or warm coat when it's too cold out for little short-haired dogs.
      Wolves are cool, but they're probably not really great pets. They're very strong, for one thing, and one quick bite can really do damage to a person...and they tend to know what they want and not want to accept something or someone weaker than they are as a leader. They don't obey well, and they can sometimes outthink a person. Hard work to keep a wolf around. They don't bark like dogs, and I love their howls. Especially on a misty, early morning...
      Admiring them from afar, great. Keeping them in the wild without trying to kill them off, fine. Respecting them, yes.

      @@jonathanr72 That is empirically not true. Not everything that dogs do is directly related to their social hierarchy. The heavy focus on "alphas" in dog packs is somewhat misinterpreted. They have alphas but most of the time (in wolf pack-where this behavior is documented) the alpha is the familial head in a sense (the father) and they definitely do care for their offspring. It is virtually undeniable that dogs form bonds with humans. This isn't an emotional point. There are several studies on this.

    Whenever my dog got in trouble for something he couldn't help (Like peeing inside cuz no one let him out) I would always protect him because I know that he know's better and it wasn't his fault. I know he definitely loves me. I had to move away and I miss him terribly.

    This video goes into describing how dogs can behave around people and how they can grow bonds with them. It even goes into explaining that dogs have similar neurological processes as humans when they feel emotions. Despite how descriptive it may be, one of the biggest flaws about this video is the lack of a description for what love really is.
    So it begs the question, what is love?

    Always protects me ,and really care about me
    And some nerds who says they just love us because we gave them food...then its totally wrong
    Because when I was out of town for few days
    My dogs really became droopy
    Decline eating food
    And sat near Door for first whole day but then He cheered up after I made a video call haha and every day until I came home. And you could visualise with how much love i was greeted back to home !

    Of course they love us if we treat them well! They have different styles in loving us. My dogs who are brothers are from the same litter have different personalities and look for affection in different ways. One likes to cuddle and lie down with me the other wants me to throw balls and play with him! When I walk in the door both greet me with the same excitement and affection that I know is love trust and acceptance.

      Cats are generally selfish creatures that put themselves and their own needs ahead of their owners. Dogs on the other hand are the exact opposite, they put their owners over themselves and will gladly do anything to please their owner, even sacrifice their own life to save their owner if need be. So I think dogs are more capable of truly loving their owner.

    There are different levels of acceptance, love, dependence, attachment, jealousy, fear, anger, hatred, happiness, sadness, in their emotions toward various people, places, things, and other animals---all similarly to people in description, and all affected by a number of varying factors just like with people.
    Dogs have the ability to learn and remember things which are either repeated or explicitly impactful, and these affect their emotions---as also is still generally the case with people.
    Dogs have the ability to live much more in the moment and more simply driven, whereas people have the ability to hold grudges against those with whom they are bonded the most and can have more complex and/or long term goals.
    Most dogs are better at reading non-verbal and even verbal cues of people and other animals, than most people are about reading the vocal and non-vocal cues of dogs and other animals.
    We people have been learning more about how similar our respective emotions are and about how different our respective intelligences are.
