Many four-legged friends lick their owners.
Most people really like it. They believe that this is how pets show love and affection.
But is this really the reason dogs exhibit this behavior?
Perhaps something else drives pets?
Let's figure out why a dog might lick its owner.
Asks for help
Your dog suddenly started licking you? Try to analyze your pet's behavior and condition: perhaps it is not love that he is showing, but fear.
It is possible that your four-legged friend is sick or very scared of something.
In such a situation, “licking” can act as a kind of signal for help.
It’s as if the dog is telling its owner: “Help me, I’m scared/in pain.”
Wants to play
Perhaps the pet just wants to tell the person about its desire to play.
To check if this is true, give the animal its favorite toys.
If after this your four-legged friend stops licking you, then everything will become clear.
Shows love
But we shouldn’t forget about the dog’s attachment to its owner.
Perhaps the animal does not need help. It is possible that the dog just wants to be near the person important to him and "tell" him: "I love you."
