Here is the puzzle:
Because they are so gregariously sociable, and because they consider us to be
their pack leaders, dogs cra-e our attention.
Being touched is soothing and reassuring for dogs, -ust as it is for us.
Stroking your dog reduces its blood pressure, its heart rate, and its skin
temperature.
It calms its sense of arousal. Dependent dogs demand attention most, but e-en
dominant, aggresi-e canines socilit attention from a strong human leader.
