Have you ever noticed how your dog curls
0:02
up in your spot the second you leave the
0:04
bed or the couch? Psychology says it's
0:08
not just comfort, it's connection. When
0:11
you leave your spot, your scent lingers,
0:13
and that scent is safety. Your dog's
0:16
brain associates it with warmth, love,
0:19
and protection. So, when he lies where
0:21
you were, his brain releases oxytocin,
0:24
the same love hormone humans feel when
0:26
they hug someone they miss. It's his way
0:29
of saying, "I miss you, but I still feel
0:32
close." In that quiet moment, he's not
0:35
guarding your space. He's guarding your
0:37
presence. Your smell lowers his cortisol
0:40
levels, literally calming his nervous
0:43
system. That's why sometimes you'll find
0:45
him sighing, curled into the exact spot
0:48
you left. It's not just your seat, it's
0:50
home to him. So, next time you see him
0:53
sleeping there, don't move him, just
0:56
smile. Because that's what love looks
0:58
like when it doesn't have words. Share
