I always wonder if my dog misses me when I leave for work. Is it just waiting for food, or does it genuinely miss my presence?

Your dog absolutely misses you! Dogs are pack animals, and you’re a key member of their “pack.” Studies have shown that dogs experience separation anxiety and exhibit excitement when their owners return. They can even recognize your scent and associate it with comfort and safety. While they do enjoy the food and care you provide, their bond with you goes much deeper. To ease their time alone, consider leaving a favorite toy or treat to keep them occupied. But rest assured—they’re counting the minutes until you’re back!
