But why are dogs so loyal and why are they naturally affectionate to people?

Some people analyze that there are two main reasons why dogs are loyal to their owners from an emotional basis. The first is the attachment and trust of the mother; the second is loyal obedience to the group leader. Of course, here the dog regards the owner as its "mother", and the owner is also the leader of the dog, so the dog will be very loyal and obedient to the owner.

Some owners also believe that to reveal why a dog is loyal, we should judge it from its development history and personality. Research has found that the ancestors of dogs are actually wolves, and wolves are pack animals. They never act alone. Everything the wolves do is done under the leadership of the leader wolf. Every wolf pack has a leader, and other wolf members are absolutely loyal, obedient and follow him. With the development of heredity, this gene continues into the dog's body. Especially dogs that have been with humans for a long time, they regard their owners as leaders, relatives, and friends, so dogs will be loyal and obedient to their owners.

Perhaps it is difficult to explain why dogs are so loyal, but it is an indisputable fact that they are friendly to people. It is precisely for this reason that dogs have become the most common pets in families. Maybe this is the fate between dogs and humans.
