Dogs have been domesticated for thousands of years and have learned to live with us. This is evident by the fact that puppies are especially quick to learn to trust and rely on their human family. In addition, dogs form strong relationships with us due to their pack mentality. We become their family and their pack.
Note: I will generally discuss the dog-human relationship but share personal pictures to support this wonderful bond. Captions by Bear.
A pack is a group of animals that work together to survive. Wolves are the best example of this as they live in packs and hunt together. Dogs evolved from wolves, so they still have this pack mentality. The group is their family, and they will do anything to protect it.
The pack mentality makes dogs good at forming solid relationships with humans. Dogs are pack animals and rely on others for their safety and well-being. This instinct carries over into their relationship with humans, and puppies quickly adapt to living with their human families. Dogs trust that we will take care of them and provide them with everything they need, both physically and emotionally.
This instinctual behavior makes dogs incredibly adaptable. Dogs are highly empathetic and can bond quickly with their human family and read our moods. They know when we are sad and will comfort us, and they also know when we are happy and will join in on the fun.
Dogs are incredibly social animals. They love interacting with people and forming close bonds. The intelligence of dogs has been underestimated. Dogs are intelligent creatures, and their sense of smell is extraordinary. Dogs give us everything they have. They assist us, protect us, comfort us, and love us. We are family.
Adaptability and instinct have allowed dogs to thrive as domesticated animals. As a result, they can form close bonds with their human family and rely on us for everything. It is this bond that makes dogs such great companions, and it is something that we should never take for granted. In my opinion, dogs are treasures!
