5 Ways Dogs Express Gratitude

Dogs are loving creatures who never hesitate in showing love to their fellow beings or humans. Their love is said to be unconditional as they never leave your side and hold no grudges. Pet parents try to take the best care of their dogs and treat them to tasty dog food, toys or comforting cuddles. And just like humans, dogs too express their gratitude and thank the ones who look after them. But their way of doing so is slight different. Instead of using speech or words, pooches use gestures to say thank you. Now most of us remain oblivious of this behaviour and never really notice when our dog has come to us to say thank you. So, it is important to acknowledge these small yet important gestures to further strengthen your bond with your pet.
