You know that gooey, slow-blink stare your dog gives you? That’s not a glitch. That’s love.
When dogs make soft eyes (not the hard, aggressive stare), their brains release oxytocin. That’s the same “bonding hormone” humans get when we fall in love.
Your dog is literally getting a little love-high just by looking at you. If they hold your gaze and blink slowly, you’re basically soulmates.
