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 [b]or whether you can give them something they want[/b].  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]
Some dogs just love getting attention from humans. They want random strangers to speak to them or pet them. They get excited to “greet” new people. That dog could very well have hoped the pp would give him attention.[/quote]

This. My dog loves when people come to our house, be it the plumber or our best friends. [b]He loves to “host.”[/b][/quote]

So cute! Love that term and going to steals it.😁[/quote]
