Does my dog know I love him? Vet Vs The Net

So, to sum up:

Does my dog know I love him?

Of course they do! They can count on you, their beloved owner, for attention, cuddles and above all… food! In fact, you’re more than likely their primary source for each of these, so of course they love you.

Your dog will appreciate nothing more than your full, undivided attention. The best way to show them they have this is to play a game.
