2. “Your Smell Is My Favorite Thing in the World”
To your dog, your smell is more than a smell. It is home. When researchers at Emory University scanned the brains of dogs, one scent stood out — the smell of their owner. It lit up the same brain region humans use to recognize loved ones.
Your scent is your dog’s favorite thing on earth. More than food. More than the park. This is why your dog sleeps on your laundry, follows you around, and pushes their nose into your shirt. They are not being clingy — they are recharging. The next one might make you laugh.
