Ever felt like you're being watched, only to glance over and see your furry friend gazing at you with those loving eyes? If you’ve noticed your dog constantly checking in on you, you’re not alone! It turns out that your dog has plenty of reasons to keep an eye on you, and it’s not all about food (though that’s part of it!).
Let’s dive into some of the fascinating reasons behind this behavior.
One of the most common reasons your dog checks on you is their natural instinct to protect their pack. In the wild, dogs rely on each other for survival, and even domesticated pups retain this pack mentality. You are their family, and they want to ensure you're safe at all times.
