What Does Your Dog Think You Are?

Your dog can't tell you, but it has already decided what you are. So what does your dog actually think you are? A bigger dog? A parent? A hero? The answer says as much about you as it does about them. We spend every single day with our dogs assuming we understand the relationship, but inside their heads they're running a completely different idea of who we are. Do dogs think we're dogs? Do they see us as parents, as their pack, or as something they can't quite categorize at all? In this one, Max digs into what science suggests dogs really think we are: how they read us, why researchers compare the dog-and-owner bond to the way a child bonds with a parent, and what your dog has quietly decided you mean to them. (You matter more than you think.) If you've ever looked into your dog's eyes and wondered what's going on behind them, and what you are to them, this one's for you. #dogs #dogbehavior #animals This is Max, asking the big "but why?" questions about animals, humans, and what it means to be alive, one doodle at a time.
