The Science Behind a Dog’s Loyalty

Dogs are famously loyal, but why? Research shows that oxytocin (the “love hormone”) increases in both dogs and humans during positive interactions.

Why Are Dogs So Devoted?

• Evolutionary Bond: Wolves that were friendly with humans evolved into dogs.
• Emotional Connection: Dogs can read human emotions and respond to them.
• Pack Mentality: They see their owners as part of their pack.
