@dooly.bear: You were gone twenty minutes. You went to the mailbox or to exercise. Yet they meet you at the door like you've come home from war, whole body wagging, ears, tail, the entire dog, like the single best thing that has ever happened just walked in.😍 Friends may laugh it off as - oh he's a little dramatic. But here's what's actually under it. The door greeting is honestly one of the most reliable signs of a dog's bond with you that exists. One of the first quiet little signs a dog isn't feeling like themselves is that they stop greeting at the door. So a dog who shows up every single time, no matter how long you were gone, is telling you something real. Their whole day kind of reorganizes around you leaving and coming back. And your return is the big event it's all pointing at. Dogs also just live in a totally different sense of time than we do. They don't really clock twenty minutes vs four hours the way we do. All they know is you were gone and now you're back, and to them that is worth the entire production, every time. The drama isn't dramatic to them at all. It's just true. Gentle note, always. This is warm, normal, deeply bonded stuff. ✨What is instead a thing to look twice at is the opposite - a dog who used to greet you and suddenly stops, since that can be one of those early not-quite-themselves signs worth mentioning to your vet. So the next time your dog greets with endless love when you’re back home… That's devotion to its fullest (though with zero concept of time but with unlimited wholehearted love for you). #welcomehome #doglove #dogdad
