Dogs will use cuddling to create a stronger connection with you
Believe it or not, humans are not that different from animals and we use the same signals when we want to show our love for other creatures and beings. In other words, whether we are talking about humans or pets, we all want to cuddle when we have a feeling for someone or something.
“Gentle touching and nuzzling mimic maternal affection between puppies and their original dog moms. These physical activities induce the release of the feel-good hormone, oxytocin, in both species,” said Greenstein.
It is always happy when you get home
The truth is that your dog always gets excited when you get home, even though you have left it alone all day. So, if your dog jumps, licks your face, barks and brings you its favorite toy, the chances are it loves you more than anything.
In addition, if it brings you dirty clothes and shoes it means that it wants affection.

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.
Mankind does not know what is in a animal’s mind, but it is still cute to imagine what is in their mind!
