Snuggling Up to You or Showing Their Belly
Have you ever experienced this: whenever you’re sitting on the sofa, relaxing, your dog always likes to lie at your feet, or even more actively, jump beside you, rest its head on your legs, or even roll over to show its soft belly? These actions are not just ways of being affectionate; they are expressions of deep trust and love towards you.
In the animal world, the belly is the most vulnerable part, as it lacks the thick fur and muscle that protect the back. When your dog shows you its belly, it means they completely trust you and feel safest by your side. This is an extreme display of trust, as they believe you would never harm them.
So, whenever your dog does this, they are essentially telling you, ‘I really love you, I trust you, I feel safe with you.’ This sentiment is built on a foundation of long-term companionship, care, and love. The next time your dog does this, consider gently stroking their head or softly rubbing their belly, letting them know that you also deeply love them and will always protect them.
