[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dogs > people, I say.

I was sitting behind a fake service dog on a plane recently. Reason I suspect he was fake is that he kept looking behind at us. The lady next to me got so mad! But I loved it. He was a cutie. [b]I love with dogs smile and seem interested in what you’re up to[/b].[/quote]

They are not smiling nor are they interested in you.  You sound like a simpleton.  [/quote]
Dogs can definitely show interest in people. Many dogs are very social toward humans. Are you totally unfamiliar with dogs?[/quote]

Dogs show interest in people but not for the reasons humans show interest in people.  Dogs are either assessing whether you're a threat or whether you can give them something they want.  Anthropomorphizing dogs isn't good for them.  For instance, humans like hugs.  Hugging a dogs isn't a good thing to do as it will trigger their fight or flight.

Asking dogs to be like people isn't acting respectfully to your dog either.  It’s a dog.  [/quote]

There have been studies done showing that a dog's brain lights up in the same love areas as human's brains when they see the people they love. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/08/science/gregory-berns-dogs-brains.html Have you actually been around a well socialized dog? Some dogs just love giving hugs for the same reason as human's like giving hugs, because they like the human contact. [/quote]
