After a dog appears in the house, many people call the pet a member of the family. And dogs themselves often feel a special attachment to some family members.
Let's find out what this connection is and what else future dog owners need to know.
This applies primarily to families with children.
A dog may treat all household members equally, but it will have a special affection for children.
What is the reason?
It is believed that children and dogs spend more time together than adults.
For this, pets protect their little owners, and not only from strangers or intruders, but even from their parents.
There are often cases when a dog can stand up for a child who is facing just parental punishment.
This behavior is explained by the special emotional connection that arises between the dog and the little person.
The reason is that a child's behavior is more predictable for a dog and the animal rarely experiences fear or feels threatened by the child.
It is also believed that dogs understand who is the weakest in the family and therefore needs protection.
Previously, we talked about why a cat snores and whether there is cause for concern.
