Ah, my little darling, if you’ve ever had a dog, you know what it’s like: that little tongue that comes to lick your hand, your face, or even your feet! And you’re probably wonderingā¦ why do they do that? Is it just love or is there something deeper? Grandma will explain everything to you gently and tenderlyĀ š.
A proof of love and attachment
Our dogs lick us first and foremost to express affection. This behavior is inherited from their wolf ancestors: puppies would lick their mother’s mouth to receive food. With your dog, it has become a sign of tenderness and submission.
When he licks your hand, it’s like he’s saying, “You are my family.”š¾
