It is believed that dogs can be truly loyal to only one person, and they can listen to, tolerate, or simply ignore others.
And if, as scientists say, cats in this regard in some sense do not care - they are the most independent animal, then with dogs it is more complicated.
Experts have suggested how dogs choose their owners and what can influence this choice.
Dogs will most likely consider the owner to be the one with whom they feel comfortable and safe. This may also be the person who spends more time with the pet, plays with it, treats it and cares for it in other ways.
There is a belief that dogs may prefer owners who already have experience keeping pets.
It is also believed that dogs may show interest in people who are significantly older or younger than them.
Another interesting point: Some dogs may show a special interest in a certain gender of their owners.
But, as practice shows, the level of mutual understanding between a dog and a person depends on each, but to a greater extent on the patience and skills of the owner.
