Why do some dogs choose a favorite person?

Why do some dogs choose a favorite person? Have you ever noticed that some dogs seem to choose a favorite person… and simply ignore everyone else? This is no coincidence! In fact, science has discovered that dogs have a secret criterion for deciding who deserves their absolute loyalty! And the reason may surprise you! But before I reveal this secret, let me tell you an incredible story. In 1924, a Japanese man named Hidesaburō Ueno adopted an Akita dog named Hachiko. Every day, Hachiko would accompany his owner to the train station and wait for him to return. But one day, Ueno never returned. He suffered a stroke and died at work. The amazing thing? Hachiko continued to go to the station every day for 9 years, waiting for his owner who would never return! This raises the question: why did Hachiko choose Ueno? What made this bond so strong? Dogs don’t choose their favorite humans just for food or affection. Research shows that dogs form bonds based on three main factors: the person’s energy, shared experiences, and emotional chemistry. But there’s one detail that almost no one knows. Studies show that dogs can identify their favorite human by smell! The canine brain has a region dedicated solely to recognizing the scent of the people most important to them. And do you know what’s even crazier? They can differentiate your scent even if you’re in a group of hundreds of people! But there’s something even more bizarre… Scientists have discovered that dogs prefer people who maintain constant eye contact with them. This releases oxytocin, the same hormone that strengthens the bond between human mothers and babies! And here’s a shocking fact: if a dog feels fear or stress around you in the first few months of life, he may never choose you as his favorite person! That’s because negative experiences shape the way he forms bonds. Now, do you want to know how to make a dog choose you as his favorite person? The answer is simple, but few people actually apply it: spend quality time with your dog, play with him, train him and, most importantly, show him security and trust. Your dog needs to feel that you are the best thing that has ever happened to him! But did you know that some breeds are more likely to create strong bonds with just one person? Breeds such as the Chihuahua, Dachshund and German Shepherd tend to choose a single human as their favorite and may even show jealousy when others approach. This happens because these dogs were historically bred to be faithful companions or highly loyal working dogs to a single owner. And there's more... The moment when a dog defines his favorite person can happen much sooner than you imagine! Studies indicate that, in the first six months of life, puppies go through a critical period of socialization. During this time, the person who interacts with him the most, plays with him, protects him and feeds him has a great chance of becoming his number one human forever! Now, here’s a detail that almost no one realizes: the way you communicate with your dog can directly affect the bond he creates with you. Research shows that dogs respond better to softer voices and cheerful tones – that’s why you may notice that he gets more excited when you speak to him in a loving way! And the most impressive thing? Dogs can even perceive your emotional state just by observing your facial expression and body posture. If you always come home stressed or anxious, he may associate your presence with negative emotions. But if you convey joy and security, he will want to be by your side all the time! But be careful! The fact that a dog has a favorite person doesn’t mean that he doesn’t like anyone else. Many dogs create strong bonds with their entire family, but they still have that special human they turn to in moments of fear, joy or even when they are sick. And this makes sense. After all, we also have our favorite people in life, don’t we? Now, here’s a challenge for you: observe your dog over the next few days and notice how he reacts to different people. Who does he follow around the house? Who does he sleep with the most? Who does he bring toys to? The answers may reveal exactly who he has chosen as his favorite person! And if you want to ensure that your dog strengthens his bond with you even more, try to spend more time with him without distractions. Give him real attention, play, train, go for walks and show that you are someone trustworthy and fun!
