Brings toys

Did your dog bring his ball or soft toy? It's not a fact that your pet is asking you to play with him.

It is possible that the animal is trying to give the person a gift as a sign of gratitude.

Licks the owner

Licking is a sign of submission for dogs.

Young puppies lick their mother's face, and adult dogs may begin to lick their owner's face, hands, or feet as a way of showing affection.

In addition, by licking the owner, the dog recognizes his leadership and thanks him for his care.

Looks and wags its tail

A direct look into the eyes, accompanied by a movement of the tail from side to side, often indicates that the dog is grateful to the owner for something.
