I feel very loved by both my pups, and did as well with my RB collies although Cody tended to love all people and seemed happy with anyone, whereas Willie was intensely attached to me above all others.

Tasha is not a cuddler so much, she doesn't try to sit or lay in my lap, she will come up for scratchies and then go lay down after she's satisfied. But the way she gazes at me, follows my every move, goes into incredible joyous mode when I come home from anywhere or even when I get up in the morning, the way she looks to me for safety when she's insecure, and the way she is protective of me around strange people or dogs. She loves David too, but her emotions towards me are much more intense.

Tommy is the most cuddly dog I've ever been around. He will lay for as long as a couple hours with his head on my foot or leg, tries to sit his big behind in my lap if I sit on the floor, will lay in the most awkward and uncomfortable-looking positions in order to be in some sort of physical contact with me or David. He gets most excited and playful around his Daddy, but tends to shadow me the most, staying close and settling down where ever I am in the house.

I do believe all of our dogs feel love for us, but display varying degrees of independence, dependence, and affection. I admit I am one of those who really enjoys affectionate personalities in dogs.
