5 Weird Dog Habits That Actually Mean They Love You 😍

We see it all the time at the shelter: the quirks, the “weird” little things dogs do that melt you if you know what they mean.

Here are five habits that actually mean I love you:

       1. That circle they do before lying down? They’re checking it’s safe — instinct mixed with trust.

       2. When they lean their full weight on you — it’s their version of a hug.

       3. Yawning when you yawn — that’s empathy, not coincidence.

       4. Carrying your socks around — your scent is comfort.

       5. Sighing once they’ve settled beside you — the sound of complete contentment.

We see the same things at the shelter: the moment a rescue dog finally sighs for the first time, finally leans into a hand instead of flinching away.

That’s when we know they’re healing.
