In most cases, dogs show a high degree of affection for their family members and are not shy about showing their feelings.

However, sometimes we cannot correctly decipher the message of our pets.

Many owners are interested in why the dog puts its head on them.

What does this unusual signal mean?

You are often separated

If the owner spends a long time outside the home without his dog, the animal may show signs of stress and anxiety.

In such cases, the dog lays its head on you only because it is afraid of another separation.

Therefore, it is worth considering an option for joint leisure so that the dog does not sit at home alone.

"Amulet" against other animals

Experts believe that dogs may be afraid of competition in the form of other pets. If the dog suspects you of "infidelity", it will try to put its scent on you.

It is very easy to do this - just put your head on the person. It is believed that other dogs will feel that you are already "busy" and will lose interest in you.

Desire to spend time together

Since animals are very social, basic care such as feeding and walking is not enough for them. The dog wants to take a worthy place in your life.

Therefore, with such an unusual gesture, the dog reminds you that you need to spend more time together.
