Bringing You Toys

When your dog is carrying a toy in their mouth, it is not always because they want to play. One theory suggests a dog brings someone a toy because they think of that person as the alpha and want to earn that person’s respect. According to another theory, the object is really valuable to the dog, so bringing it to someone means the pooch trusts that person. Of course, it is possible that your dog simply loves you so much they want you to enjoy their prized possession. Therefore, do not toss the ball away because you just might hurt their feelings!

When Dogs Yawn

The common reason humans yawn is they feel tired or bored. Dogs, on the other hand, yawn because they feel secure and safe. Yawning is a sign of submission for doggos, but it can also mean that they feel stressed or they are anticipating something. If you take your dog to the vet and you notice they are yawning there many times, it can mean they are nervous. If your dog yawns before a walk, they are likely trying to control their excitement. Dogs also yawn when they are tired, just like humans.
