Want to know if your dog loves you? Here are some surprising ways your dog is showing that it loves you
 

We love our dogs unconditionally, and the bond we share with them is precious. However, we often wonder if the love we give is reciprocated by them. Here are five signs that you can look out for to see if your dog loves you back or not.

The soft gaze
Dogs may lock eyes on you for many reasons, from aggression to need. It could be anything. However, sometimes they look at your eyes softly, like they feel comfortable with you and are in awe. That is the purest form of love you will ever receive.

The wag
If your dog loves you, they will come and wag their entire body at you, from shoulders to their tail. They will wiggle it all. This is a special wag, which is just reserved for the people your dog loves the most.

The Cuddles
If your dog comes to you for cuddles, know that they love you. They will come to you and snuggle around, they will lean on you, and the cuddles will be absolutely on their own terms. Your dog will ask for your love from you.

The Happy Meets
So, every time that you return from office, does your dog greet you at the door? Are they all jumpy and cuddly around you? No matter what they were doing, they are always there to greet you? Well then, your dog loves you unconditionally.

The Lick
Dogs often lick you as a sign of affection. They do it to interact with you and to get your attention. So, next time they lick you, don’t get agitated. Give them some loving scratches and cuddles!
