If your dog will rub its face on you it means it loves you

If you see that your dog often rubs its face on you that is because it wants to show you love and affection. 

“It’s a common way to show affection. By rubbing their face on you, your dog is marking you as theirs,” says Sara Ochoa, veterinarian and veterinary consultant for DogLab.

But you should also be careful about this behavior because if you see that your dog rubs its face on every surface that appears in front of it, you have to call your veterinarian. Some dogs do this when suffering from an infection or mites.

It gets agitated when you lie down to take a nap

How do you know your pet loves you? Well, all you have to do is to play dead or take a nap and if you see that your beloved furry friend gets agitated, it means that it adores you and cares about you. This is pretty nice, right?

“Some dogs will lick your head and face desperately if they think you are unconscious or unresponsive,” said Szydlowski.

There are a lot of funny, but cute videos of dogs seeing their owners pretending they are dead. Their reactions are priceless! But if you want to sleep for a couple of minutes you can get your pet out of the bedroom.

  1. Of course animals can show their love! Even wild baby animals I rehabed to be released back to the wild, recognized me a their “mother”. But, wild animals do not make pets!!! When hormones kick in, you can have a very different animal to deal with. So, it is best for you and the animal for it to be returned to the wild. One must guard against human imprint on a wild baby.
    If it is not raised with it’s own kind, wild counter parts will not accept it. Plus, the poor baby won’t know what it is. I always raised babies in a group, of at least, 2 or more, so they learn interaction with their own kind. It is also critical to feed them the same foods they are likely to find once released. There are now powered milk formulas – one for felines and one for dogs. If you don’t know what to do, contact an experienced rehab person or organization for help. In some states it is illegal to own a wild animal unless permitted. Raptors are especially protected under law. It could be illegal to even have feathers from one.
    The most important thing is before you add any pet to your family, do your research! This way you will know what to expect in the future. Don’t buy or adopt on a whim! Educate yourself first! It can save you and the pet, a lot of future distress and heartbreak.
