Why do we enjoy talking to our dogs?
⠀
Firstly, let’s face it, your dog is nearly an ideal listener.
⠀
Your pup will never interrupt you, or wave his/her paw in a dismissive manner, saying: “That’s all cool, but you have to hear that thing that happened to ME the other day…”, springing all of their problems you don’t really want to hear about on you.
⠀
Secondly, your dog is all about unconditional acceptance and will never criticize or doubt your opinion.
⠀
Dogs’ favorite humans are absolutely perfect to them, no matter what. They love us in any state: rich or poor, sick or healthy, regardless of our appearance.
⠀
Thirdly, when a dog and a human interact, the bodies of both release oxytocin, attachment hormone, which helps us be happy and confident.
⠀
Dogs fully depend on us.
⠀
But it’s not only them – we depend on them too. They contribute to our good mood, help us feel confident, healthy and enjoy our lives to the fullest.
⠀
So, why wouldn’t we talk to them tet-a-tet from time to time?
