My certified service dog “Bubba” and I have been relying on each other for nearly 11 years now. Bubba sleeps with me every night in a single bed. He’s an 80 lbs Labradoodle and I’m a chunky 200 lbs paraplegic man. I don’t mind him hogging the bed. Lol… His body heat soothes many of my medical needs. He’s the best heat pad in the world for aches and pains. We cuddle a lot while awake and/or sleeping. He feels where he needs to lay as the night progresses. It is almost freaky he senses my therapeutic care. Every morning I thank him by kissing him several times and talking in my doggy voice.

I know for a fact that sleeping together is the biggest contribution to our love, bond and trust.

Lol my dog doesn’t sleep with me, I sleep with her .
She usually takes up the bed and leaves me a tiny space and my butt hangs off while she is splayed out with legs in the air .
Then she looks at me and looks at her belly like … here it is human rub rub rub ! .
My dog is the greatest thing that happened in my life .
I lost about 100 pounds exercising with her and walking, I quit smoking for her health, and I found a happiness I haven’t had in a long long time.
Just knowing someone is there, loving unconditionally.
She is so empathetic that when I’m sick she lays on my lap, if I sneeze or cough I get kisses, if I cry she wipes tears with her paws and licks my face clean.
I am the luckiest guy in the world to have a friend like her.

Hmmm, couldn't help but notice that what works for dogs, works for children too. Love, presence and assurance.

I call my dog, "sweetheart". Once my niece was over and we were getting ready to leave. My dog was laying in his bed and I said to my niece, "alright, let's go sweetheart." My dog got up real quick and came up to me thinking I was talking to him. 😂 Best dog ever. I had to give him a treat and told him he had to stay.

The average lifespan of the dog is nature's cruelest trick.

A dog I had 40 years ago was named Prudence, which became Prudie, which became Prunie Tunie, which became Prune and when she became old it was just Tune. She was a great Border Collie.

The kisses and eye contact depends upon the animal in question. Dogs from shelters often need time before they can be called a fur baby. Most small dogs will have a far more positive reaction sooner than larger dogs that are known to be used as hunting dogs. So if you stare in the eyes of malamutes and breeds much closer to actual wolves, eye contact can be seen as aggression. Just a thought for people who are looking for a dog and are unaware of the time and sense of comfort the dog has learned from their person.

I almost always pet my boy, give him a milkbone bisket, and tell him I love him and will be right back and to guard the house whenever I leave each day. He never seems to mind my leaving and always is there by the door waiting for me to come in when I get home.

My English bulldog is named Malibu but when she’s extra adorable I call her “Malibu Beach Barbie”, and my rescue pit bull is named Freddy and I love calling him “Mr Kruger” when I get home, he’s always so excited and calling him that now amplifies his excitement 😂

I watch a friend's dog regularly and I love that Aussie more than myself (almost?). I would live out my days with that animal and be pleased but sadly I need to earn a living and it breaks my heart to have to refuse play when she asks. There's nothing more rewarding than deciphering her communications and establishing deeper communication. That dog has also learned me to the same extent that I have learned her. It's an incredibly enriching bond. I just can't bring myself to get a dog of my own if I am too busy to permit full-time-play between her naps. I also happen to be the dog's favorite human even though she is not mine but still lives in a good and loving home. She understands the intimate focus that I give her and she gives it in return. Edit: The whole reason for my comment was that it doesn't take "scientists" to reveal this. That's kind of a joke to me. Just love your pet the way you want to loved...they will reciprocate probably better than another human will....AND they won't care if you hang the towel in a way that it doesn't dry as fast. Man's best friend 100%.

Anyone remember the rock band 3 dog night? It is also old saying that it is so cold outside that you have to sleep with 3 dogs to stay warm.

I have 2 Rhodesian Ridgebacks, they both love me, especially my younger one, but both would walk straight past me to get to a biscuit crumb lol

My dog was..more timid as a pup than most, still a bit more timid than most but not as bad (she used to pee herself out of fear over anything as a pup); we found that she responded much better when using positive training rather than the punishing one (like rubbing their nose in pee, a swatt on the butt, and putting them outside), this was back before positive training really became more utilized and more studied..so it was a slightly goofy idea back then and it paid off so much! She's so relaxed around us, listens well, and loves us very much as we trained her with only positve reinforcement! When it's garbage day and the big truck comes by she gets spooked from all the noise and banging, but I found it really interesting she'd come into my room to lay next to me even if the noise was louder in my room..she'd even come from across the house to lay next to me (I'm the only one home at those hours, my parents are work). I even trained her to give me hugs when I'm on knees (only then as I'm low enough for her to lay her head on my shoulder lol), but she only seems to do it with me..everyone else can command her to jump up to give hugs though via wrapping her paws around your waist when standing.
When doing the "dog voice" I call her some silly stuff like "nikki wiki tiki" 😆

Respect your dog. It builds trust. Let them be a dog. Building a strong bond is one of life's greatest pleasures. A dog can teach you a lot about yourself. Truly can be a life changer . . for the good!

Love how you incorporated concepts like love languages and attachment styles into this video. So interesting how these things apply to both human and doggo relationships!
