7. If your dog is cuddly after a meal it’s not just because you fed them, it’s because you are their best friend.
Gregory Berns writes in his book How Dogs Love Us that if your dog wants to cuddle you after eating, it’s a strong sign he loves you.
8. A dog leaning or pressing against you is their version of a hug or a “hello”.

9. If your dog yawns…it could be a sign of submission…or that they feel safe and secure… Depends on the situation.
