My dog locks eyes with me whenever it’s doing its business. It’s both funny and strange. Is this some kind of weird bond thing, or is there another reason for this behavior?

Your dog staring at you while pooping might feel awkward, but it’s actually a sign of trust. In the wild, relieving themselves is a vulnerable moment for animals, so they rely on their pack to watch for threats. By staring at you, your dog is acknowledging you as their trusted protector. It’s also a way to stay connected in case of any sudden danger or distractions. On a lighter note, it could simply be that they’re looking for reassurance, especially if they’re still a bit shy or unsure. So next time it happens, feel honored—your dog sees you as their ultimate guardian!
