Homeless dogs evoke the most complex feelings in people. Some look at the animals with feigned indifference, while others are ready to give away their own lunch, prepared for work.

But there are cases when stray dogs become attached to people, even those who did not intend to share food with them.

Experts have revealed what exactly about a person can attract the attention of stray dogs.

The dog's attention may be attracted by the smell of food coming from a bag, package, etc.

But a much more interesting situation seems to be when a dog follows a person who is completely hopeless in terms of getting food.

It turns out that of all the city dwellers, dogs do not choose the first passerby they meet.

Most often, animals pursue carefree people and cheerful companies.

The dog will also readily follow elderly people and slow-moving old people.

People with kind eyes, people in uniform, tourists, lonely and silent intellectuals, and also homeless people will be given attention.

According to experts, in such a situation the dog is looking not so much for food as for company, since, left alone, the animal feels uncomfortable.

And the more confident the person the dog meets on the road, the more protected he will feel.

But dogs will not only not follow cowardly and restless individuals, but will also be wary.
