We love our dogs. We know they love us back, but because they can't say it with words, we have to figure out ways of understanding how they express their love. Some loving dog pawrents took to the internet to share their heartwarming stories of how they know their doggo loves them the most, and we're already warning you, get your tissues ready! This post is so heartwarming, we couldn't help but tear up a little. We don't deserve doggos, and these wholesome doggos prove it over and over again.

Our doggo shows us their love by listening to us perfectly, every time. Yes, it sounds like a fantasy, but it's true! She may not be super cuddly, but she does everything we ask her to, without fail. Every doggo is different, and we have to learn to communicate with them on their level while teaching them how to understand ours. Scroll down to have your heartstrings tugged on in the best way pawssible!

    How does your dog show you that they love you the most?

    We often joke that our very friendly dog would go home from the park with ANYONE who gave him a treat.... He's not exactly loyal. But he does a few really subtle little things that let us know that we are his real family: 1. When we pat him on the head he gently closes his eyes. When anyone else tries to pat him on the head he tries to watch/follow their hand. 2. The way he so easily falls asleep in our company, belly up. When anyone else is around he stays awake.

    We love it when our dog falls asleep with her belly up. It's the cutest thing in the world, and on top of that, it means that she feels safe to sleep in such an exposed way while we're around.

    3. If I go for a quick swim, and tie him up where I can see him, he spends the whole time staring at the pool - no matter who comes up to him or what treats they offer. Can't shake his laser focus. (As soon as I hop out he's back to his usual distracted friendly self) Wondering what little things your dogs do that let you know that they do indeed love you best!

    Velcro dog! Yeah, sometimes it can be annoying to have your dog attached to the hip, but 95% of the time we think it's super cute. They literally can't stand to be apart from us, and it makes us feel so loved.

    paupaupaupau - 8 days ago This one's a little different. Tia's a retired racing Greyhound. When I first adopted her, she was terrified of other dogs. A small dog walking on the other side of the street was enough for her to tuck tail and pull hard in the opposite direction. Gradually, I socialized her with other dogs and helped build her confidence. She's generally quite good now, though young and rambunctious dogs still give her pause. If she finds another dog overbearing, she does a good job w

    warning, and we're exiting the situation by that point. Tia's also generally pretty reserved in her affection- a bit more cat-like- as a lot of Greyhounds tend to be. So that brings me to the incident that melted my heart. We were at the dog park, and there's a young Golden Retriever. He's about what you'd expect from a young Golden that isn't well-socialized yet- overly friendly, rambunctious, and not very good with personal space or boundaries.

    This Golden had already bugged Tia a fair amount, and she did well. She was patient and walked away. Her body language showed her discomfort, but there was no escalation when he followed her. Fortunately, he had many other interests to distract him. One of those distractions was me. So this Golden is overstimulated and starts jumping on me. He's obnoxious, but it's not the end of the world. I use my knee to block him and turn away. He continues to try to jump on me and get my attention. His owne

    my sweet, easygoing, and timid girl- who used to be terrified of 10-lb ankle-biters- gets between us. She is defending me. I'm not sure I've ever felt so loved.

    Patiolights 8 days ago 1. She wiggles her body around when getting settled for cuddles and then face plants her head into a armpit/crevice of my body to hide her nose and eyes so she can snore and fall asleep in bliss 2. Jumps in the bed every morning at 6 am when my partner gets out of bed to get ready for work and snuggles up against my back and lays her head on my neck and licks my cheek while I'm asleep and facing away from her. I used to hate being woken up like this but I've come to enjoy

    kittenwalrus 8 days ago Lavish Labrador I lost my 15-year-old last year but she showed me I was her human by literally always being with me when nothing was going on, giving me never ending kisses, climbing on the side of my ribcage to sleep when I was sleeping, and always coming to me when she was scared. I am disabled so I've never been the one to actively feed her or let her outside but she still chose me out of all the people in my house. I really miss her.

    thesongsinmyhead 8 days ago When we're walking outside she'll do this thing where she noses me in the back of my leg. She's trained me to turn around and check on her and give her a pat or a quick snuggle. Now she won't stop doing it until I stop and at least pat her head.

    Economy_Rutabaga_849 · 8 days ago My partner, daughter and I play this game. We line up together away from our dog and then call her. We say she loves the person she runs up to the most. Except I don't call her, because whenever I do she always comes to me. I know she loves me best.
