I am not keen on scientific presentations, but in my opinion, one of the best things about my dog is that whenever I leave home and come back after days, it gets so excited to see me back, waging its tail. True love, I tell you. I miss the dog. We had a great attachment
This approach is not scientific. But regardless of whether he was eating or sleeping, he always comes running to me when I say good morning in the house. That seems like love, assuming that’s not it.
