How Dogs Show Gratitude: Ways Animals Use to Say 'Thank You'
It is unlikely that anyone would dare to call their four-legged friend ungrateful, because animals use a lot of ways to express their sincere “thank you” to people.
So, if you see that the dog is jumping tirelessly when you return home, and then he can even lie down on his stomach and crawl to your feet, this means that he wants to show his gratitude in this way.
The dog feels gratitude because its loved one has finally returned home.
Another method that our smaller brothers often use is a close, soft, eloquent and understanding look into the eyes.
Besides, what else can you call a dog's ability to read minds if not gratitude? For example, you just thought about going for slippers, and your pet is already proudly carrying them in his teeth.
You can also be sure that licking is translated from dog language as “thank you” – the pet is trying its best to leave a scent secretion on the body of the person whom it considers the head of the family.
Finally, if your dog sleeps at your feet, rest assured that this is nothing more than an act of strengthening the trusting relationship.
Finally, gratitude from the dog can also be shown in everyday life, when he tries to give you such an irreplaceable thing as a ball, or actively wakes you up in the morning.
